It illustrates that anything physical is temporary while the unseen is eternal. As this pertains to a potential Creator:
quote:
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Therefore, God is not temporary as the physical is. He is described as 'eternal, immortal, invisible', a 'Spirit' and thus not subject to the same laws of physics which require a material beginning.
To my knowledge, the laws of science have yet to fully investigate the realm of spirit, what makes a person a person, or is responsible for morality. In dealing only with the physically testable and observable is neglected much of what's most important.
Love, honor, justice - as Romans 1:20 stated, even the most hardened atheists would recognize those acting in violation of such concepts are doing something 'wrong', whether they want to admit it or not. These concepts are not subject to the material realm or physically observable, we can't prove when they began or from what, yet are there all the same.
I stand by my point. A spiritual realm, and the concepts and beings which are part of it may not be subject to the same limitations which require a beginning.
