calling an individual's lifetime a continuum doesn't remove the reality of that continuum having a beginning

Tell me then, oh most polite and wise gentleman, what is that beginning?

Turns out the smartest thing is not what you've said on this thread, but rather what you haven't said.

When is the beginning? Answer: There isn't one, of course. Nature doesn't work that way.

Perhaps you've finally been cured of your poofishness.
