A Paradoxical Fork in the Road
When existence is reduced to a most fundamental extreme there remains two choices unless of course there is a third that for some reason I am not currently privy:
1. Something from nothing. (absurdity one)
2. Ever-flowing time. (absurdity two)
The first proposition attempts to resolve the problem of infinite regression in the form of a spatiotemporal negation, but is this absolutely necessary? And is it possible that it may just be a periodic/sporadic spatial negation in the presence of never-ending time?
The second proposition hypothesizes that time may not require a beginning from which to progress forward, but that there may exist some unknown eternal anomaly that somehow governs time in a way that transcends conventional logic and reason?
A God anomaly could most certainly be the case in either proposition, but in proposition one there would be an emergence factor constituting a primordial anomaly whereas in proposition two time would be indistinguishable from eternity thus rendering this "eternal anomaly".
Any preferences here or other possibilities unintentionally overlooked?
