nice. One view even holds that the concept of "everlasting" with it's inherent 
binding to time is inapplicable to god. Like the god as an author model (see 
my other reply); Where was the author before the first page of the book, 
and where does he go after the last page? The question is as meaningless 
as; what is the conversion rate from the color red to US dollars?
