The universe is infinite,God, whatever a given belief concieves this being to be in infinite.I know of no religion that argues this.The argument stems in the forms of what this "God" is concieved to be, how the door of communion with this God is open and what happens after the body dies.
The way I see it, the argument has more to do with culture and how life is viewed and what one hopes for in a world beyond.
The western/Christian based theologies teach a final state for the believer and non believer.A Heaven or a Hell based on the life lived and the beliefs held by the individual.The Eastern mystical beliefs are more based on the concept of an infinite array of possibilites, with no real ending or beginning.You reincarnate with each "death".
This I believe is more a product of culture.Western culture wants a finalty to life.An end to a means.A time where all wrongs are righted,and all good deeds rewarded.Easterners see it more as a continuing process more akin to nature and evolution.
Here are the questions:If the universe is infinite, why does there need to be a final state?Does morality as we know it exist outside of our own social constructs?If so why?
