Since I used an argument to show that time is not eternal, then it doesn't make sense to say "what if it's made out of infinite of finite pieces" and use the phrase to reject a conclusion that has been shown by reason.First you argue that 'time' is not made of 'finite pieces', then you break time into 'finite pieces'.
It would be trivial, were it not that people state time is eternal...but I'm showing none of the past is eternal, the present is not eternal, the future is not eternal, then how can it be said it is eternal when none of it is? It's illogical. We are attributing eternity to a whole thing that none of it is eternal.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
