What makes you think the universe is infinite? And why would that be any different from our current laws of nature? Why do you think they may not have had a creation point?

You see, I'm not arguing in favour of anything here. But rather, I just want to point out this thread is totally on the wrong track

OMG Lira. You just asked, "What makes you think the universe has a beginning?" Now you ask me "What makes you think the universe is infinite?"

So which is it? Infinite or finite?

You think I know? I'm a linguist, not an astrophysicist! I'm talking about the arguments here, not about what is out there, necessarily.

All I want to show you is that you're taking way too much for granted.

So, I think we've come to something of a conclusion. The universe is infinite, but not our current laws of nature (gravity, electromagneticism, strong/weak force, cosmological constants), which began at the point we call the Plank Epoch. And that matter and energy are also infinite and thus have no creation point.

lol Texas. Now it makes sense.
