If I have this right, the argument goes something like this:
1. If there is an infinite past there is enough time for all possibilities to be made actual.
2. It is possible for all matter or energy to not exist.
3. Therefore matter or energy should not presently exist.
The only problem I see is premise two - but then one would have to make the case that it is impossible for matter or energy not to exist. I don't see how one gets there. Thoughts?
