In order for a good basis for a fundamental philosophically themed argument, such as this, to be established; a few assumptions need to be made, but not just provided… explained and given.

First, the assumption about time. Since time is a unit of measurement that is intangible, but assumed by man, to make sense of things and keep track of cycles, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millenniums… are all facts and items in our day to day vocabulary, but much like “run” in its noun form they don’t actually exist as a tangible object, but as a representation of a witnessed event that is obvious. “Run” is different in that it is executed by someone or something, and can be performed and stopped at will of what or who is in control of that action, as opposed to time, which simply is. In stating that, we can conclude that time isn’t an action or thing, nor does the word “time” itself actually represent a tangible, logical, item or action that can be imagined or pictured. But we, as humans, can logically determine, through the association of our understanding of time, that there is a past, there will be a future and the few seconds that our mind processes our short term memory could be presumably called the present. As a result, even though it is intangible, and the word itself carries very little meaning outside of the understanding of the English language, Time exists, in that we understand the concept of what it represents.

Second, an assumption about eternity. In order for us to understand what eternity and infinity actually are, we can look to the stars. Space is the only tangible form we have of infinity. Not that we can touch it, but that we are in it, and we can look up every day and night and see it. To analyze, briefly, the differences between eternity and infinity, infinity is a mathematical term used to represent eternity, wherein eternity is more for usage with the representation of time, and infinity would more or less be representative of space, for use within this article anyhow. Hence the interweaving of the two terms as though they are one in the same, when in fact they are merely synonymous, but only for what they represent. What do they represent? They represent the span of an item that is too vastly inconclusive for man’s primitive mind to fully understand, and is thus, never-ending, never beginning.

The third part, creation, and in no terms do I mean “Creation” where in there is going to be biblical fall-backs onto some story from Genesis, or other book of religious significance, that really holds no bearing over what is actual. Creation, in terms of how most people think of it, is making something, or someone, for the matter of this writing. In order to create an object, or even a person, something needs to be used as a material to first start, then other materials to then finish, whatever it is that is being created. Even if it is something such as nitrogen atom, energy needed to come together at some point to generate that core element, and a charge needed to be applied or triggered in order for it to properly become a nitrogen atom. Though this isn’t an assumption, as much as it is a derivative, something must be created from something else. For those religious fanatics that are out there - even you can agree that Adam was created from something else, its in the Bible, go look it up.

So we have time, eternity, and creation. The three things that make up existence. Time, in that we are here, now, and have been here then, and will be here later. Eternity, in that existence itself is the representation of what is, what was, and what will be. Creation in the representation of what has been here, what is here, and what will be here. What, how and when we got here can be derived from these three factors of existence as well.

………………

Creation; everything that is here today was and is begotten from one source prior. Be it, energy, proteins, spare parts, or raw materials. In that regard, all things here have been here for all time, and thus, are simply compiled at this moment to exist as they are now, and later will be something else again at a later point in time for all of eternity. We do not know how we came to be, but we can attempt to explain it via stories, assumptions and research. When all we are searching for is the details for the obvious, which is, we are, and we started from everything that is… There will be a time in the future when we are not here, and we do not exist, but the components of what make us are will be, and will continue on after. In that, you can think about where energy comes from, and where it goes once you are no more… and start to derive what you might think I’d say about afterlife.
