Quote by Bertrand Russell

There is no reason to suppose that the world had a beginning at all. The idea that things must have a beginning is really due to the poverty of our thoughts.


There is no reason to suppose that the world had a beginning

Summary

This quote suggests that assuming the world had a definitive beginning is an indication of our limited thinking. It challenges the notion that everything must have a clear starting point, implying that our perception of beginnings is shaped by our own intellectual limitations. Instead, it implies a possibility of the world existing infinitely, questioning the commonly held belief in a singular origin.
