"You are the one defining things. Definitions of things beyond our ken are arbitrary"

Thank-you for that definition. What about defining the universe as eternal?

"people care about definitions, they exist in human imaginations- do they have any meaning beyond that? Who knows? Doesn't seem likely."

Who decides? The kid with the biggest muscles? You just continue to beg the question God's existence who, if he exists, is like the IRS, in that HE /they, are the arbiters of meaning, not just for the beyond, but for the now. That was the point, not what you tried to do to it. You said you could just define the universe as being eternal, no, you can't.
