Ya, I had a look at this one. It is weird. Take this part:

the jainist universe
it is not possible for the universe to be limited in either space or time;
therefore it is infinitely large and has no beginning and no end; therefore
it could not have been created; therefore it has no creator. (mahavira, 500 bc)

Now I ask, if the universe had no beginning, then it would take an infinite
period of time to get to this moment in time. But because we are here, then
the universe must have had a beginning.

Comments?
