> [i]DT: But Stenger does not start with nothing. He starts with a false vacuum. So he must assume it is and was eternal.[/i]-In my book "eternal" means "for all of time". If there is no time eternal has no meaning.-[i]A Stenger quote: 'nothing' is as simple as it gets[/i]-With this I agree.-[i]DT: this view, however, is clearly metaphysically absurd. True nothingness cannot have any properties whatsoever, including the property of instability.[/i]-This just shows that your concept of "true nothingness" does not exist. It is a metaphysical fantasy, like a perfect circle.-[i]DT: All you have stated is that Time began with the Big Bang. I agree. I have no problem with eternal timlessness until the Bang.[/i]-As stated above I do have a problem with "eternal timelessness". This is an oxymoron. If there is no time there is no eternity.
