I can see your point, but as I see it, there is no problem existing within infinity, just that time doesn't end. If you have the numbers, going back, from infinity you can't do it unless you use algebra. You can always get to a number, but it will not have any specific value. Or something to that effect.

You don't see my point, then. Or at least you don't fully understand it. Let me see if some references can help:

Nothing can happen if time is not passing. If time were paused, nothing would happen. So if there was, at some point, no time, then the coming-into-existence of time could not happen, so if there had ever been no time, there still would not be any time, because the time leading up to the beginning of time would not have passed, as time did not exist at all.

I either don't understand you, or you're forgetting spacetime. I think I understand you, and I think you're reiterating part of my own point. If you think what you said supports your theory, I'd say you've forgotten relativity.

Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel says that if a hotel has an infinite number of rooms, and an infinite number of guests come to stay the rooms would be filled.
|
Right, the Hotel would work mathematically, but could not work physically. Thus, an actual infinite cannot occur.

Just that the process will never actually end.

You keep giving me the right answer. Just connect the dots. The process has never ended (the end being this present point) given an infinite regression of time into the past.

God does not equal the universe; your theory does not stand as is.
