The beginning of the universe isn't paradoxical, it just isn't understood. That is a totally different thing.
Rubbish there is a paradox and it's blatantly obvious.
INFINITE TIME IS THE PARADOX.
For something to have a start time can not be infinite OR IT IS BY DEFINITION A PARADOX and you can't talk around it or do psychological mumbo jumbo like TT wants it becomes a paradox.
Perhaps show me the start point of an infinitely long line if it isn't a paradox I mean we can define a line much better and more solidly than time.
Religion does the obvious answer it truncates time, ask Rev K and he will answer there is no time before GOD.
As I said strip the problem down to its bare bones
If time is infinite and exists now and always did you have a straight and unresolvable paradox look at your wiki definition again ..... and I say again you want a start point time has to be finite and truncatable (able to be cut).
All 3 proposed solutions truncate time ... you have to there is no other option to have a start point and that was what I was trying to get you to realize.
WHY?
Well there are some interesting developments being worked on time because the above problem.
