re: Religion and truth (or some facsimile thereof)
Johannes, those things simply always existed. It's Occam's Razor at its finest. To put a limitation on infinite things just brings up the question of what was there before. When you answer that question, you get the question of what was there before that. It become infinitely absurd.
There is nothing finite in space, only the limitations of what we can absurd with our finite bodies and senses.
