Linux Gal: “At least one thing does not have a beginning, or if it does, it has no cause.”
Windows Guy: “Name that one thing.”
Linux Gal: “Time.”
Windows Guy: “Ha ha ha, you believe time created itself!”
Linux Gal: “No, I hold that either no moment exists without a prior moment, or if there is a moment with no prior moment, then there existed no moment during which the first moment could have been created.”
Windows Guy: "Lmao! So time created itself? Bwhahahah! If the bible said time was eternal you would literally scream it had a beginning! Anything but God right? What is sick is that you rather believe in the IMPOSSIBLE than to believe in God! What a sick individual!"
Linux Gal: “Does God have a beginning?”
Windows Guy: “Of course not!”
Linux Gal:
Neither of these characters has read Augustine's discussion of time.
Do you suppose that in the sixteen centuries since Confessions, it is at all possible that human beings have learned just a little more about the nature of time?
