>You are not Wade at all. Are you?

Of course I am. Why think otherwise?

Baz, my argument against an infinite past is a valid deductive argument (I can go through a formal proof if you wish) which means the only way to deny the conclusion is to reject the premises. Comments like "we cannot DEDUCE whether there has been an infinite past or not, because there are no PREMISES from which to argue" don't do much to attack the argument. The premises, true or not, are obviously there. So how can you expect I, Wade A. Tisthammer, to respond any differently?
