I read this years ago and do not know who wrote or I would give credit.


In a far-away land is a block of marble that is one mile wide X one mile long X one mile deep (1 cubic mile).
Every thousand years a sparrow lands on this block and cleans his beak.
When the block is thus worn away, the first day of eternity will have just begun.

A friend of mine who is now with the Lord said a way to define eternity is:
If an angel came down from heaven and dropped one grain of sand every thousand years on a city the size of Minneapolis, by the time the city would be fully covered, eternity would just be getting started.


It's not always about catching fish. That's what people who don't catch fish usually say.

Eternity has its hiccups , just like infinity. If there is such a thing as eternity, then everything has already happened and everything will happen again ...its just a matter of time and everything will repeat itself. That would go against the principles of thermo dynamics. Entropy in that case would be a non starter

Eternity is simply the absence of time. Time and space are human concepts.
