Eternal: Lasting forever, without beginning or ending.
Are you equivocating 'timeless' in the sense of 'unaffected by the passage of time' with 'timeless' in the sense of 'time not existing'? Because the last sense is the one we've been using throughout this thread; and in that sense, there is a contradiction between something being both eternal and timeless.

Quote:Full Definition of timeless*emphasis mine*
1archaic : premature, untimely
2 a : having no beginning or end : eternal
b : not restricted to a particular time or date <the timeless themes of love, solitude, joy, and nature — Writer>
3: not affected by time : ageless
Where is the contradiction?
With your definition, actual infinites exist; therefore, they are not absurd, at least according to you.
