Why Something Rather Than Nothing?

[datc]

So datc , did you ever read the article I suggested on page 5 about infinite regress or did you just choose not to comment ?

Here is the link (again):

About Infinite Regress

What do you think about it ?

There may be an infinite number of moments in time (such as stretching backward to infinity), as well as an infinite number of abstracta, such as numbers; but not an infinite number of real objects, such as atoms or angels. I wrote:

The quantity of real objects is measured by actual numbers. But "infinity" is a mathematical abstraction; it's not number.

Heywood objected that God's creating angels "for eternity" or say, every hour, would result in an infinitude of angels. This isn't a good example. Angels already exist in time. God cannot start at t = -infinity, because -infinity is not a date. But if God starts at a determinate date, there is a finite number of hours to pass through from it to arrive at today. Hence, the number of angels would in any case remain finite.
