Disproving William Lane Craig's Theology: Part Three.

Chapter Five

Here Are My Conclusions Based On Basic Premises.

Since an absolute something cannot be created from an absolute nothing; that an absolute physical / material something cannot be created by a non-physical / immaterial 'something' and since something cannot create itself, I therefore conclude that something has always of necessity existed.

Since causality is absolute; since something does not happen for absolutely no reason at all, then there cannot have been any First Cause and therefore there was no beginning, or in other words, yet again that something has always of necessity existed.

Translated, the Cosmos has always existed even if our own Universe had a causal beginning (in much the same way as your own beginning - your conception - doesn't mean that other humans haven't preceded you prior to your beginning).

Therefore the Cosmos is temporally circular, not linear.

Therefore there is no requirement or need for a creator God (or any other supernatural deity either).

Chapter Six

Here is Some Discussion on Circular Time.

Even if there is an infinite past and an infinite future there's still a timeline connecting those two infinite extremes and you've got to be somewhere on that timeline which of course happens to be "now".

In fact there is no other time, there is nothing but right "now". Even if you time travelled to the past or to the future, once there you'd be experiencing "now". So everything you or anyone or anything have ever experienced has been experienced in the temporal "now". [Slight caveat: everything you have ever experienced has already happened since that experience takes a finite time to arrive at and be processed by your mind which as far as you're concerned is "now".] So one might consider the timeline extending from the infinite past through to the infinite future as being just one block of an infinite temporal "now".

The reason there is no trouble in getting from way back then to "now" is that the phrase "infinite beginning" is nonsense since there was no beginning. So there's no actual starting point "way back then" that you must of necessity need start from in order to get to "now".

Where is the starting point on the circumference of a circle? It's arbitrary. You might as we call right "now" "the beginning". It makes as much sense as picking any other point. If the Cosmos is indeed infinite then sooner or later all possible combinations will happen again and so it doesn't matter where you say the "beginning" was, it could as well be right "now", since logically there was no "beginning" just as there is no one starting point that has any more significance than any other point on that circumference which is on the circumference of a circle.
