The proposal deals with physics, it expresses it's concepts mathematically. Eternity is a made-up religious concept that is basically meaningless outside of theological conversations.
Im sorry if the idea of an "Unmoved Mover" is unpalatable, but there are no other choices.
It no more bothers me than any other religious concept of the nature of reality...it just simply lacks any evidence outside of the subjective interpretation, therefore I just ignore it.
In relation to this exchange I would like to quote from astronomer Robert Jastrow, the founder of
NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies, a confessed agnostic.
"Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover ... That there are what I or anyone else would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact."
[A Scientist Caught Between Two Faiths: Interview with Robert Jastrow, Christianity Today, August 6, 1982]
"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centries."
