Or, the only possible resolution is that there is, will be, and was >always something<.
God is an ‘always something’, no?
Which leaves us with an eternal God, with a universe which even if cyclic you still got three logical circles; the eternal all encompassing circle [or bubble if you like], the circle of existence in terms of universe/s, and another circle which represents the gap between the first two logical circles. That’s a comparative quanta Vs an infinity which leaves an infinity remaining ~ a contradiction.
Now add that at base the universe is a quantum fluidity, then continue getting evermore ‘fluidic’ until there are no defining aspects = eternity.
Whatever we place >in that<, has the eternal base, and so all manifestations are like an apex to a wave in an eternal ocean. Possibly explains why the tangents in the early universe are straight, defining an infinity. Then we just add infinite sets like strings on a guitar continually being re-tuned [bijectives], where eventually if you hold your hand still, you will eventually play a chord [bijectives] ~ which equals universe.
