Quote:But back to the point: If it is in the mind of God, then you should have no problems with the idea that the universe has always existed.God can think our universe finite in time, or infinite, for time is not something God is bound by, but is an aspect of His thought if He chooses.
Quote: Hell, I am an atheist, and I have no conceptual problems with the idea that the universe has always existed. What is the problem with it, for a believer in a perfect God? How does the eternity of some part of the mind of God constitute a problem for a believer?Most certainly no problem. It is only a problem if one naively assumes that God is in our universe and bound to its notions of time.
Quote:Indeed, this seems all for the believer's benefit, that we are not independent real things, but just thoughts in the mind of God, that have always been, and always will be. What are you, some sort of atheist?Why how would you come to such an impertinent conclusion. We are surely not independent from God, but no less real for it, for our reality is in the mind of God.
