The antinomy of the finitude of space and time

שו"תThe antinomy of the finitude of space and time
שאל לפני 3 שנים

Hi Rabbi,
My question focuses more on Leibniz's position on the subject.
How do you relate to his approach, that God had to have sufficient reason to create the world at a certain moment. In other words, what was there until then? And what suddenly happened? Or maybe in your opinion it is simply an antinomy and not necessarily an answer in Jewish thought, or in reason…
 
And a related question – regarding parallel universes, why not assume that there are an infinite number of worlds right now, if God is infinite?
Leibniz says that this is the best of all possible worlds, but perhaps there are many worlds that differ from each other in subtle ways, and each is optimal for itself and its goals.

I don't see a necessity for creation at any given moment. Today, people also believe that there was no time before the world was created, and therefore this very talk is problematic. But there was also always time, it is possible that he just drew lots, or that he had other considerations. A question that there is no way to answer, even if there were something to answer. There is no point in dealing with it. To the same extent, there is no point in dwelling on the question of how many worlds there are and why. We see one, so it is likely that there is only one. Perhaps there are others that we do not see. Philosophical arguments for and against are a waste of keyboard time.
