Comment Forever and ever, Amen (Score 1) 1293
What does "Eternal" mean? Is there anything or process which is "Eternal"? If not then how could anything come into existence without an external agency of some sort? If the stuff of the universe is eternal, without beginning or end, then the stuff should qualify as God. If the stuff of the universe was brought into existence by an external eternal agency then that agency should qualify as God. Classic 'chicken and egg' problem. If the stuff of the universe is eternal then it eventually creates a myth concerning a chicken. If the stuff of the universe is not eternal then we seem to be dealing with a pretty amazing chicken. A chicken like that ought to be able to bring me back from the dead, extend eternal life to me in a pretty snazzy environment, answer all my questions, give me a perfect understanding, and keep me from becoming bored forever and ever, Amen.
