times, it appears you have not been exposed to the concept of Eternity! Somethings are eternal, such as God, such as numbers or Mathematics. We use mathematics to our great advantage to explain many things. Although Pythagoras, applied A^2+B^2=C^2, he did not create the substance of the equation, this theorem is timeless, he only brought it to our attention. Newton discovered that objects have an attraction, The earth and the Apple, Fa= -Fb. All things that come into Existence, have a cause. The universe
