Hi Bill S.

It's what I'm "inclined to think", nothing more, nothing less. It's not a matter of science. Not even part of a philosophical or metaphysical system. It's merely something that I lean toward in my personal view. As you'll appreciate, that requires no justification to others. The best I can do, I guess, is to say that I've always had difficulty grasping the idea of a beginning and end to time, whereas infinite time presents no problem to me. That's about it really.
