The Endless Future and the Grim Reaper Paradox with Dr. Alex Malpass | (MoR No. 45)

Proponents of the Kalam often mount arguments based on paradoxes of the infinite. But these arguments face a grim problem: symmetrical, future-tensed arguments showing that the future must come to an end. I’m joined again by Alex Malpass to discuss this problem.

At the end is some bonus soccer for kicks (ha!) and giggles. Enjoy!
