Why? Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 22/04/2010 11:16:21 PM
But given the concept of infinity and endlessly cyclical time, I believe that this 'first' Age, when the Creator created everything, is not actually the first because in order to have infinite cycles, an infinite past had to be created along with an infinite future.


The 7 spoked Wheel is basically an image for a cosmic loom, which bit by bit creates the respective Pattern of each Age. There must have been a time, when the weaving of the Pattern started, after the Creator placed the Wheel, and thus there must have been a "first 1st Age", a "first 2nd Age", and so on.


Why do you assume it is impossible for the Creator to create infinite time going backward in time, but possible to create infinite time going forward?

I don't know that there could really be a first or last Age... Fanatic-Templar - 22/04/2010 07:48:11 AM 907 Views
Yeah, it's the "third age"... DomA - 22/04/2010 02:13:56 PM 874 Views
Difficult to see how you can refer to a billion people as a "fringe"... *NM* Shannow - 22/04/2010 05:02:08 PM 395 Views
You really think half of all christians believe that Earth is only 3000 years old? *NM* Japhy - 23/04/2010 12:35:01 AM 404 Views
Last I've heard, the majority of Christians weren't fundamentalists DomA - 23/04/2010 01:54:04 PM 776 Views
How about "living on the fringe of reality"? *NM* Marshall - 24/04/2010 10:21:17 PM 393 Views
That's not entirely right Etzel - 22/04/2010 03:54:23 PM 836 Views
I think FT is saying that human conceptions of time don't apply to eternity. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/04/2010 04:14:45 PM 767 Views
However, I think RJ definitely had an idea, what each Age of the 7 Ages is supposed to be. *NM* Etzel - 22/04/2010 09:53:20 PM 372 Views
I don't think so. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/04/2010 09:57:43 PM 744 Views
No, the point is... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:06:03 AM 789 Views
Not sure what your point/question is. Doesn't seem like an issue to me quite frankly . RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/04/2010 04:45:21 PM 819 Views
The question is... Etzel - 26/04/2010 05:08:48 PM 746 Views
I agree with FT RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/04/2010 06:28:29 PM 912 Views
Well, maybe. Fanatic-Templar - 22/04/2010 06:32:05 PM 797 Views
Doesn't make sense Etzel - 22/04/2010 09:51:55 PM 738 Views

The question isn't if it would be possible for the Creator... Etzel - 23/04/2010 08:34:23 AM 759 Views
Yes, but as we also know from the cosmology of WoT... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 09:08:58 AM 837 Views
Yeah... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:03:19 AM 767 Views
Why must there have been such a thing? Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 07:30:02 PM 784 Views
So, you believe there never was a first 1st Age? *NM* Etzel - 24/04/2010 08:55:45 AM 396 Views
Yes and no... Fanatic-Templar - 24/04/2010 10:55:02 PM 737 Views
Don't think so, but might be an interesting question for BS! *NM* Etzel - 25/04/2010 09:38:09 AM 379 Views
True that. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 25/04/2010 06:30:03 PM 424 Views
Yes there was a first age, no it is not a loop. Kieran - 23/04/2010 01:49:45 AM 817 Views
More change? Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 05:03:22 AM 723 Views

Can't be... Etzel - 23/04/2010 08:27:29 AM 782 Views
Yeah, but Loial apparently read a copy of The Lord of the Rings somewhere... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 09:11:00 AM 830 Views
It's reversed... Etzel - 23/04/2010 10:10:56 AM 899 Views
I doubt it, I don't have the books with me right now... Fanatic-Templar - 23/04/2010 07:31:34 PM 890 Views
I don't think that's right. *NM* Etzel - 24/04/2010 08:57:45 AM 783 Views
You're right, that is not referenced in the book. Fanatic-Templar - 25/04/2010 06:34:29 PM 735 Views
