ME: "The idea of linear time gives us two practical scenarios"

I offered these two which relate to time in the context of a beginning or not. I am sure we could squeeze sub-categories out of that but the comment was logical not theological so your comment just seems odd and a bit disconnected.

You:"I don't think so. All religions are rather stupid. If you know the scenarios around time could you please autograph me a book? I will promise not to call you a thief and a liar and burn your barn."

Repost:
1) Time extends in a never ending direction into past states that we have not yet been able to explain through scientific observation.

or

2) Time extends to a first tic but not before that. The only way this can be explained is if temporal experience was kicked off at the same tic. If time did not extend further into the past than the first tic, then what ever was responsible for the kickoff was not bound by the rules of temporal experience that came as a result of the kickoff.
