How is eternity expressed mathematically?

Did you also have similar problems with Daniel, Ezekiel, and Zechariah ?

There is nothing that absolutely new in the book of Revelation. It is the culmination of themes already previously introduced in the Bible.

It is a grand finale like a great symphonic recapitulation of many aforementioned themes.

Yes, divegeester. Thought the open ended white space without perimeter symbolized non linear eternity.

whodey, wouldn't you agree that "reality" includes eternity before we were born and eternity after our deaths?

Am I misreading your comments?

Eternity is one of those terms for which we have no real point of reference. All we know is when something began, is, or ended. To know what lies beyond is impossible because we have no point of reference.

I've said this before but I don't think it sank in as of yet.

(Page 7) "Fabian, is it possible that there isn't "any number writable" or unwritable, i. e., infinity/eternity is humanly unquantifiable?" Seems we've reached the same conclusion: (Page 5) "eternity is one helluva long, long while....."

Eventually, yes, in so far as I reject the credibility of the entire collection and, consequently, no longer self-identify as a Christian.

"Eternity is one helluva long, long while". That's right. Eternity never ends.

Human beings tend to think of "Eternity" as future... ever given any thought to the eternity which preexisted time?

Well, some scientists say that the universe started with a Big Bang where everything was started, space as well as time. So according to this there was no time before the Big Bang. If this is hard to comprehend for you, then we feel the same.

But there are also scientists that say that there was a time before Big Bang, an era that can be called Pre Big Bang. I see it as speculations, but I hold my door open to this speculation anyhow.

The Standard Big Bang theory explains what happened after after the bang, it doesn't deal with what happened before. To do that we need a brand new theory.

And to those who are anti-science - this has nothing to do with the evolution theory.

Both "the Big Bang Theory" and the "Evolution Theory" are speculative beliefs and opinions masquerading as science.

We've been through this, not once but numerous times. Your opinion differs from the scientific community.

If there was a "Big Bang" who or what started the Big Bang.... and if it was efficient why wasn't it known as a Little Bang? Also how did the material/corporeal part of men and woman provide their immaterial inner being? Just speculating aloud.

This is the spiritual forum, and I cannot explain Big Bang in these terms.

How it started is the subject of much hypothesis. As far as I am aware, at the moment there is nothing that can properly be called a theory (in the rigorous scientific sense).

What do you mean by 'efficient'? What has efficiency got to do with size? And it was originally called the 'big bang' by proponents of the steady state theory as a derogatory term. It is not descriptive of the event in any meaningful way.

No one has demonstrated any 'immaterial inner being' that is not the results of the processes going on in our brains, so there is nothing to explain here.

'efficient'.... effective/focused use and application of resources in contrast to random or sloppy.
