Ok, I see what the issue is. You're arguing the A-theory of time, which I reject. I'm a B-theorist when it comes to time. In other words, using the line analogy, all parts of the line have always existed even as one part precedes another ad infinitum.
Quote:One thing had to always exist, but none of it always existed, and the whole thing didn't always exist.
But if that one thing always existed, then that means your continuing line in its original stage has always been. In other words, you seem to be arguing the first stage of the universe has never had a beginning?
Quote:In case of composition fallacy, it always is, is when the individual parts make some feature together and their togetherness as a whole makes it the case that the individual thing doesn't apply to the above.
No shit, MK. That's the definition (albeit worded badly).
