So God made the earth and the Devil created the entire universe. Does that not imply that the Devil is more powerful than god? (by your logic)

For this to be true, there would have to be infinite dimensions because if there were not, then we would be able to comprehend some sort of 'finite-ness' to reality. I think there can b no end or finality to reality and only 'god' can be outside of things by being of unreal nature. Ha unfortunately this makes so much sense to me its my new philosophy in life, i really hope someone offers points of debate on this cos its important to me

As gravity seems to be the 1 thing that breaks down modern physics when it is in enough abundance, isnt it prudent to presume that at the point of singularity when gravity must be in it's most abundant form, that (and im not qite sure how to put this) it would form a gateway to new dimensions? As at the end of a cycle of our universe i find it hard to believe there is not more to it...

I realised when i was 15 you can only have infinity in cycles or "a cirlce" as i thought of it back then. Butmy question at this point (assuming ive not misinterpreted which i almost surely have), is that if time reaches 0 at the moment of singularity... then has gravity reversed time? is gravity the opposite of time? The 2 things i cant comprehend are gravity (which seems to be spread over more than 1 dimension) and time so in a bizzare sor of way it makes enough sense for me to ask this

so... if the universe reaches a point of singularity,, the big bang effect is reversed due to the gravitational pull negating the expanding velocity of the explosion? And at this point time has a beginning? Well then isnt time infinite but only in cycles?

You can't divide anything with zero, that will not give any result.

A solitary point can't be relatively defined.
Mathematical constructs are a form of deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning can be tested for validity and accuracy of related inductions.
