hello how did I get here hello
who are you I don't know I just got here
me too what is this place it's
everywhere ruin yes see for yourself
that side is one end of everywhere and
this side is the other end so we just
explored the entire universe yeah would
appear so wait look at that
what right there it's really hard to see
I don't see anything you gotta look
really hard yeah I see it the universe
is one minute ten seconds old
do you remember anything before one
minute ten seconds ago now that you
mention it no I don't mean either what
does that mean it means we just now came
into existence why how I don't know but
we must have been created for a reason
how do you know because we could have
just been created by nothing well who
says there was ever nothing not me
I said it was a creator why are the
choices either a creator or nothing what
other choices are there I don't know
and how could you possibly say I'm wrong
because I don't need to know the right
answer to be able to recognize the wrong
answer well at least I have an answer or
creator if there is a creator then where
is he
and
we have created anything before time
even began
2 minutes 13 seconds ago maybe the
Creator exists outside of time and space
after all how could he create the
universe without being separate from it
but if the universe is everywhere and
how can there be a place outside of it
only the Creator exists outside of it
that seems like an awful lot of
assumptions look obviously time began I
can see it for ourselves something had
to cause it to start ticking that's
something is what created us I don't
think that logically follows of course
it does the universe isn't infinite if
it had a beginning therefore at some
point time is going to cease and then we
will join the Creator and you'll see
that I'm right
join the Creator how do you know that it
just makes sense
look at that time ends and this is all
there is then we have no purpose no
meaning I don't think that then watch
your entire life
to have no meaning I don't think that
being finite implies meaninglessness
true or does it means that everything
you'll ever do will amount to nothing
why does what my life will amount to in
the future matter more than what it does
amount to in the present
I just can't believe that this is all
there is there has to be a greater
purpose okay fine let's say there is so
what is our purpose then to have a
relationship with the Creator why would
the Creator put us here that instead of
in his presence he wants us to seek him
out I'm sorry it just seems like you're
making an awful lot of unfounded
assumptions I mean you can't really
prove any of this can you I know it's
true because the Creator revealed it to
me but I've known you throughout your
entire existence and I've never seen
this supposed creators speak to you you
revealed it through
I can feel it in my heart that's how you
know I think you could say that you
believe it maybe but I don't think you
can claim to know for sure
just look around you look at me look at
yourself the universe began had to have
been set in motion which implies a prime
mover that's how I know there's a
creator wait I thought you just said you
knew it because you felt it in your
heart yeah that too
what makes you think our creator started
time obviously there had to be a first
cause everything that begins to exist
has a cause the universe began to exist
therefore the universe had a cause that
first cause was the one and only creator
who is spaceless timeless on cause
all-knowing all-powerful perfectly good
and he created us because he wants to
have a relationship with us well come on
I mean can you come up with an
alternative explanation I think so what
if any out what if there's much more
than what we've observed here and we're
just being sort of arrogant in assuming
that this is all there is what if this
isn't all there is what if there are
other people out there beyond this
finite universe and they live in sort of
a multiverse that already existed and it
was one of those people who started time
for us being created doesn't necessarily
mean that we were created for the
creator nor does it imply that our
creator was the prime mover
perhaps he came into existence through a
natural process
maybe he created us with a program that
was written by other creators using a
machine on a network requiring all kinds
of utilities and infrastructure which
means our very existence might rely on
what countless creators have done maybe
we were created for other people to
start our timeline and then watch us go
through our entire existence for their
amusement or enlightenment or whatever
maybe they could even pause time or make
time jump forward or backward at their
whim perhaps we've already had this
conversation and it's being replayed
perhaps our choices are merely an
illusion and everything we do has been
pretty determined to happen a certain
way what if this is the only possible
way we could be maybe there's even
thousands of copies of this exact same
universe with us in it all being played
out in the exact same way and we'll both
be oblivious as we just go through this
same conversation over and over again as
different people watch us from within
their own timeline and that will be the
sum total of our existence sorry but
that's just ridiculous yeah I guess talk
about assumptions yeah what's next all
the people watching us are gonna rate
the creators universe give it a thumbs
up or something never mind just forget I
said it personally I'd like to think
that my life will go on when that timer
stops ticking yeah me too I think it
will I mean after all our lives would be
meaningless if it all just ends when
that timer stops and the Creator
obviously created us with a meaningful
purpose in mind of that I have no doubt
what do you think it'll be like when
that timer stops we'll go on to another
place where there won't be any more
difficult questions and we will live an
eternal happiness I wish I could believe
that but I don't think I do what do you
believe I think that when that clock
stops so do we well there's kind of
depressing yeah maybe but I don't think
the truth really cares about my feelings
and I don't really remember what
non-existence was like before that timer
started you know maybe it's just like
that after it all ends one thing is
certain though was there we should make
the most of our time while we still have
it that's not so certain especially if
we go on for an eternity after this well
at least one thing we can both agree on
is that it will end yep so how much time
do you think we have left I don't know
really it could end it any more
