Why Something Rather Than Nothing?

[datc]

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.

If there is infinite space and infinite time why not infinite matter?

Why not an infinite number of universes?

I find this unintelligible.

In his book Reasonable Faith, William Lane Craig marshals many arguments in favor of the kalam argument for the existence of God.

Kalam depends on the assertion that time cannot go back in the past to infinity.

I do not like kalam and think that Craig is wrong to think that the past cannot be inifnite.

But his arguments in this book are quite alright when used to show that the infinite number of real objects (as opposed to moments in time) cannot exist.
