Acceptable vs...
Eri — (archived)

What any of us thinks won't really change the reality of what is. Or will it? But that's a question for another day.

I actually don't find either unacceptable; I'm just questioning "how can either one be true?" Maybe both are true. I was having an argument (not a fight, a philosophical argument) with my sister one time and neither of us would back down from our premise. I was talking it over with a mutual friend and she said, "Well, why can't both be true?" She went on to say that when looked at from a higher perspective, you can accommodate both seeming contradictory views.

I've used that a lot and have found it to be one of the wisest things I've ever learned. I thought and thought and finally got to that higher perspective and voila! My sister and I were both right!

So, perhaps the Universe had a beginning and will have an end but like humans, something did come before which created it (no pun intended there!).
