Quote:If time was infinite, the whole of time would not be preceded by a point of time.
This is a tautology, and why is it a problem? Why must there be a point in time before all other points in time?
I have no idea what "time came into being" is supposed to mean.
Quote:I take it as manifest that a physical thing cannot cause a wondrous thing as time to exist and just make it appear after not existing. This is clear and manifest, and just needs to be thought about. A lifeless force simply cannot do this. It has no magical power.
This is just an assertion based on your imagination and awe. The argument from incredulity. You can't imagine how something without a will that isn't magic could be this "creator". You don't need to be able to imagine things for them to be true.
But kudos for stepping up to the challenge, I don't know if I'm going to get any other takers.
