An Eternal Universe
Question
The physico-theological argument claims that the complexity and special nature of the laws point to an intelligent designer. But does that necessarily also mean that matter itself is created anew? As matter, could it be that matter is eternal, and that in fact the universe is eternal?
Answer
Very unlikely. That is the cosmological argument (as distinct from the physico-theological one).
