Well if you use time like numbers, numbers are infinite in both directions. So with that said, 0 is the beginning and after that you go back and forward for ever.

Can’t disagree there, but that’s not how the majority sees time. |

The flaw in that is that you're assuming time has a beginning. To reach here from what? From a previous point in time. Infinity is an idea, not a numerical value. Infinity is not a point of time but a concept that time has no beginning and no end. We're not "reaching" the present we're experiencing it. All aspects of time are in relation to now. |

0 would just be a representative for now, the present (in a timeline), or at 0 AD, it is a number we assign to a point in time. You can't assign it to the beginning, because there is no beginning. Time is infinate because you can always go back 1 second before what you were just considering, even if there is aboslutly nothing back before that, there is still time. |

But time alone doesnt have a beginning, there is no set zero. All time does is measure, how many times the earth revolves in front of the sun and how many times the earth revolves around the sun. So we made a measurement of how many times our planet rotates. Well all we know "god" could be holding a crib toy called Galaxies and have bigger beings under us. Those are called namuh the real ultra beings. The reason the sky is so dark is because "god" turned out the lights.
That wasn't ment to offend no one it was added humor.

That is where my reasoning comes in. it is not life then death, beginning then end, but a rearrangement. Rearrangements usually follow a cycle. |

Probably better looking than me, but I have a deep voice that draws in chicks like fish with a fishing pole.  |

HAHA...I have a deep voice but probably not as deep as yours. Instead I use my confidence to get what I want.
