Okay, smart ass.

It makes no sense to me either.

Well I had presented my reasoning of one way time could be infinite.  I
started out with the question "Why does there need to be an end to
time?".  I will try to find those posts and present them to you.

I shall, and have done so.

Okay, ignore what we have just gone through.  
Question:  Leading theorists of our day claim that time began at the
Big Bang (the BB is something I still dispute).  Why does time have to 
have a beginning?  IMO, claiming such is sheer speculation, built from
assumption.  
There starting from scratch.  Your turn.  ;)
