Just to add , you can get the Any Race Any Alliance dlc from g 2 a for like 2 bucks . I highly recommend it <| sep |> An eternal universe would still need to be created . It doesn ' t seem like people really understood Ibn Sina ' s argument . Even if the universe is eternal it would still be contingent , and therefore it necessitates a cause that is not within timeafter all if God created time and is outside of it why should he have to create in time ? . Having a eternal universe doesn ' t mean it can ' t be created . Also there were plenty of muslim philosophers who claimed an eternal universe is an impossibility anywayas do I . Doesn ' t it look like Ibn Tayymiyah is engaging in Kalam here , or at least a philosophical refutation ?
