ConundrumA Poem by Richard WilliamsInfinity and God.If in the beginning, "God" or Gods created the universe, that implies a beginning... and if we are to believe that a "God" or Gods are infinite, then by definition the "God" or Gods waited an infinite amount of time before they began creating. But is it possible to wait an infinite amount of time, even for a God? No, it is not possible, for that would negate what infinity is, which is boundless, never-ending, ceaseless. It serves no purpose to insult reality. And if we say that a "God" or Gods are "outside of space and time," we descend into the meaningless, the nonsensical, the silly and the desperately depraved. Why would such a God enter into the confinement of a nutshell? Amid such stumbling, we might as well conclude that a "God" or Gods could create a rock of which they could not lift. © 2010 Richard Williams |
