[Thales Miletus]

Please accept this as the compliment that it is meant to be: I love nerd/ geek speak. So many debates/ discussions digress into "Says you" or "Up Yours!"

I do have two questions though:1) If Aristotle is correct and the universe is eternal, doesn't that obviate the need for a god?2) what is "ekpyrotic,"? I believe I have a pretty good vocabulary, but I am unfamiliar with that term.

Thank you for your interesting insight and the book suggestion.

For more on the ekpyrotic physical cosmology, click here.

Concerning time v. eternity and related issues, I offer that space, time, autonomy and physical causation are part of the creation and not properties of - or limitations on - the Creator of them.

I leave it to my dearest sister in Christ, betty boop, to clarify the issue concerning Aristotle and the beginning or first cause.
