(I don't understand hammy's theory, but want to just focus on yours for now)
It's not a theory, first of all. It's just a proposition/belief, just like the God belief.
The cosmos is everything in existence aside from the divine (and the supernatural). It can comprise multiple universes, even infinite number of them, and other "natural" stuff that we have yet to even conceive of.
The cosmos is here, and as I argued in the OP, we can't have non-existence in place of it. Therefore, the cosmos has always been.
Yes, proposition/belief, that's what I meant. Thank you.
So when you say you believe the cosmos have always been here, you mean everything in existence has always been here?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
