Exist Without Beginning
I have no objection to the abstraction description “exists without beginning”; in other words I agree there is something that is real (= exist + true) for which the description “exists without beginning” is a true abstraction description. I reject the hypothesis that the actual state condition “exists without beginning” would correctly apply as a description of anything physical. It is incoherent to claim, as Stephen Hawking has done, that our whole physical universe exists without beginning.
Natural a-priori axioms:
1) No physical object exists without beginning.
2) Every physical object must be caused to begin.
3) There is only one thing that exists without beginning.

4) Eternal exists without beginning.
5) There is only one eternal.
Sound Logical Inferences:
1) Eternal caused everything that does exist with a beginning to begin to exist.
2) Eternal caused everything physical to begin to exist, including a set of laws of physics.
