St. Thomas Aquinas and the Eternity of the World

[empther]

The Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem proves that any universe that has been, on average, expanding in it’s past can’t be past eternal.

Perhaps,
but whether or not there was something before this expanding universe is unknowable to us.

However,
you still can’t go infinitely into the past.

True but the past can’t be infinite, according to the BGV theorem. It has caused quite a stir among atheists, as it dashed their hopes for an eternal universe.
