In this episode of Rooted & Reason, we explore this crucial question and why it matters—not just for Christians, but for anyone curious about science, philosophy, and faith.We break down key concepts like actual vs. potential infinity, the Grim Reaper Paradox, and the mathematical impossibility of an infinite past. We also discuss what modern science, logic, and scripture reveal about the origin of the universe.🔹 Topics Covered:✔️ The Big Bang Theory & why it points to a beginning✔️ Can an infinite past actually exist?✔️ The paradoxes that make a past eternal universe impossible✔️ What this means for our understanding of God, creation, and reality📌 CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro03:00 - Does the Universe Have a Beginning?
