Secondly, I'm not close-minded enough to think that I'm definitely right with this, and the fact that it's not a popularly believed argument among rational people leads me to believe there is obviously a reason for that being the case. Nevertheless, I shall present an argument that I thought of a while ago and can't seem to think of any counter to it.
P = premise
C = conclusion
P1) If time was not infinite, there could be no point in "time" for which time could start.
C1) Therefore time is infinite.
P2) If time is infinite, everything that can possibly come to pass will come to pass an infinite amount of times.
C2) Therefore the function of our matter (our consciousness) will come to pass an infinite amount of times.
C3) Therefore our personal consciousness' will be "reincarnated".
The main problem I can see with my argument is that someone may disagree with time being infinite, but I don't see how it can be finite due to P1, and also the thought of "no time" just doesn't feel right to me.
I think my consciousness just exploded. So much wrong in so few lines.
I need a cup of sanity. BRB.
