Exempt from this is to imagine the infinite eternal existence of the Creator--the Most High--in eternity, without an end, for this is not objectionable to the intellect. This is true even in an infinite time span and in the case of an infinite multiplicity of contingent beings, because, no matter how many contingent beings one might consider, none would exist without a necessary being, just as, in the case of a watch with many wheels, since wheels do not move themselves, there would be no motion without a spring, even if the multiplicity of wheels was infinite and they had an eternal existence (Summa Theologica, I, 2, 3). Imagine that in the aftermath of the Big Bang an oxygen atom was spawned and became destined for eternal existence. |
