If time is indeed truly linear and the concept of the beginning of time actually is a given, how can matter have always existed without being created?

"All matter plus all gravity equals zero. So the universe could come from nothing because it is, fundamentally, nothing."

If everything is nothing then one theory is as good as any other.

M Theory takes strings and adds one more dimension, making membranes.

So it wouldn't be a spaghetti theory, more of a lasagna or possibly even a ravioli theory.

Of course if one rolls the membrane into a tube, then Rigatoni maybe.

The way I view it is that all the matter probably always existed and that there was no time.

Isn't time just relative to motion? No motion, no time. That doesn't rule out matter existing for an infinity though.

Even if you 'create' matter, it has to be created with *something*, and that something would have had to exist before. The cycle is an endless loop that can't have a beginning, imo.

For me, I tend towards a universe in which matter always existed....even though I can't tell you how that could be possible. It's just what I personally feel is the most logical thing.

I will agree that at least I perceive that you perceive that matter exists, however all that I perceive is just what my brain is telling me.  

This could all be a dream world illusion of existence, all made up in my subconscious…. If that is even real.

So, you admit that you have a brain that tells you stuff? :D

Brain matter?

That all of space/time came from nothing is not at odds with the belief in a creator. In fact, it's pretty much required imo. Apparently, some believe space/time created itself from nothing while others believe it was created by an intelligent being from nothing. True or not, it's more reasonable to believe in intelligent design if for no other reason than that is our only experience.

You said that all you percieve is what your brain is tellling you.

You have a conscious existance, at the very minimum. In order to have even a conscious thought, you would have to assume that you actually exist in some form or another.

Even if you had only a "subconscious" that makes up everything for you,  then that would presume you exist.

You experienced the intellegent design of say... a pine tree?

Or did you just percieve it?

I have seen them explode into existence...in a vacume, of course.

Read an article in Reader's Digest a few months ago written by a guy purportedly to have been recruited by the Pentagon to do remote viewing. He relates some of his episodes and mentions that they were calling this the "matrix" long before the movie. No idea if there was an ounce of truth to any of the story but it was interesting.

All of my experience is based on intelligence. Pay no attention to my wife. ;)
