Maybe it's possible. Maybe it's not. Anything you can't exhaust is effectively infinite.
You can't be sure it's finite until you get to the end of it.
How do you know that? Have you exhausted all energy?
If you don't like the word "infinite" - use the word "unbounded"; or "limitless".
Proofs of impossibility only work within some specified theoretical contexts. That doesn't lead to universal truths of any kind - it only proves impossibility within that specific logical framework.
If you want to prove that it's impossible for a needle to exist any given haystack - you actually have to search it. All of it.
How do you know that? If existence is eternal why is the universe only 14 billion years old? How can something "eternal" have a finite age?
If existence is eternal then it's infinite in age. But you said existence is not infinite.
Contradiction.
Energy can't be created or destroyed. That means that there is a constant amount of Energy. That means that it is not infinite.
What do you mean by, 'energy is not infinite', exactly?

Energy = matter which is another proof that is not infinite because that is not possible.
But, 'energy' is energy, while 'matter' is matter. One is not the other. So, what do you mean by, 'energy equals matter', exactly?

Yes, I agree with you about the specific logical framework. In this case, it is Existence. It was never created, which means that nobody created it, which means that god as creator does not exist.
God is not 'somebody'. So, if 'nobody' created Existence, Itself, this does not mean that God, as Creator, does not exist at all.

There is no need to search for god to prove that he does not exist. He does not exist because he can't exist.
Only an absolute imbecile would call the Creator of everything a "he". So, why do you keep doing this?
Is it because, obviously, if one calls the Creator of everything a "he", then 'that thing' could not exist.
Are you just defining 'a thing' in 'a way' that would be impossible to exist so then you can just say and claim, 'that thing does not exist', and say you have evidence, just so that you can feel like you have 'won' some thing, and/or so that you can feel better about "yourself"?
Imagine coming into a philosophy forum, defining 'a thing' in 'a way' that could never even exist, and then say and claim,
'The first valid evidence that 'that thing' does NOT exist.'

Existence was not created, which means that it is eternal. "The universe" you talk about is, in fact, just a cosmos, one of many in Existence.
Talk about presenting another prime example of one who will just 'look for' any words, and present them in 'a way' in the hope that they will somehow back up and support one's already obtained and hel onto well-maintained beliefs.

In our cosmos, there are many sub-cosmoses or dimensions. When the scientists say that the "universe" is 14 billion years old, they in fact talk about the age of just one of the many sub-cosmoses.
Will you define the words, 'Universe' and 'cosmos' in the exact way that you are using them?
If no, then why not?

Existence has many parts in it. Some are small and some are big. The age of these parts is measured by their presence in Existence.
Their presence in relation what, exactly?
Is the Universe, for example, in your own little personal view and belief, here, big, or, small?
Senad Dizdarevic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 28, 2025 5:51 am
While the whole Existence is in the eternal Now, its parts have different ages or lengths. 14 billion years is a measure that describes how long the timeline of our sub-cosmos is.
Who and/or what is this 'our' word, here, referring to, exactly?
So, the parts of Existence are eternal and at the same time, temporarily limited. Their position in Existence is eternal, but their range is only 14 billion years in time/space.
Again, 'this one' is 'grasping' at words, in the hope that they will somehow work for them and their already obtained belief, here.

Existence is in the eternal Now. It was never created and has no beginning or end in time. In Existence, Everything has already happened.
So, 'tomorrow' has, already, happened, right?
Senad Dizdarevic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 28, 2025 5:51 am
Existence has two parts: Pure Awareness, a nonmaterial superstate which is infinite, and Energy = matter, which is material and finite.
If energy and material is finite then they have a beginning, and an end, and thus were created, somehow.
I suggest your revise 'your beliefs', and, your attempts at 'trying to' to justify 'thise already obtained beliefs'
Senad Dizdarevic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 28, 2025 5:51 am
That is the reason that Existence is not infinite as a whole, because one part of it is finite.
you are just making things worse, for "yourself", here, now.
My statement that Energy is not infinite means that it is finite. All matter has an energetic or-and physical beginning and end, so it is finite in space. Because it is part of Existence which is eternal, Energy = matter is also eternal. One measure is spatial, and the other temporal.
Energy is matter, and matter is energy. That means they are both material.
For many believers, god is somebody, a person. For others, god is energy, consciousness, everything, etc. No matter how you think of god, it doesn't exist, and he, she, or it didn't create Existence.
So, you call Hindus, Jews, Christians, and Muslims "imbeciles" because they believe that god is a man?
I use "he" as it is an ordinary term for god.
I don't claim that god can't exist as "he", god does not exist in any form as the creator of Existence.
About measures. A whole house is x, single rooms inside are y.
I am not guilty of your ignorance. I present my ideas as simply as possible. Obviously, you are "grasping" with fact that some elements have two characteristics at the same time, like time and space.
Yes, tomorrow has already happened, and it will be happening to eternity.
If you watch closely, you will see that you always step into something and never into the Absolute Nothing. You are entering the experience that is already in place for you. More precisely, you and all of us are travelers in time and space, perceiving and experiencing what already exists.
Energy and matter, both are the same, have a beginning and an end, but not in time, in space. In time, they are eternal, and they were never created.
The universe is all that is (I use the term Existence), and the cosmos is a part of it. A house is the universe, and single rooms in it are cosmoses.
Parts (cosmoses) of the whole (the universe or Existence) have different measures than the whole. A room is smaller than the house. That is their relation to each other - they are parts of the whole.
The universe (Existence) is big. You can see it by one of its parts, our cosmos. Simplified, if you are in a big room, and you know that a room is just a part of the house, then you know that the house is bigger than the room you are in.
Your conclusion is just another manipulation combination. First, you straw-man misrepresent my position, and then you attack me ad hominem.
Your childish mocking is presenting yourself, "here".
Why don't you rather logically refute the simple scientific fact of the 1. law of thermodynamics that says that energy can't be created or destroyed? If you can.
Energy can't be created or destroyed.
That means that it is eternal.
That means that nobody or nothing created it.
That means that god in any form or gender didn't create it.
That means that god as creator does not exist.
Refute it logically if you can.
