-(First premiss): The Christian metaphysics presupposes God Who is unlimited, viz. without any beginning, nor any ending (see Irenaeus of Lyon).
-(Second premiss): Well, the mathematics upon which computation is based, is limited (see, for instance, David Hilbert's hotel), at least mathematics must necessarily have a beginning (see the problem of many infinities in mathematics).
-(Conclusion)?... Please give your answer. Thanks in advance! Marc
The model of our world according to Newton can be formulated exactly in these same terms: our world has neither beginning nor end, it has always been, is and will exist, and remains unchanged. This concept was directly transferred by Newton from his Christian mentality. Meanwhile, Isaac Newton developed a modern mathematical analysis.
