Traveler, I believe I understand you. It's an interesting argument--and one that happens to support the LDS doctrine of premortal eternal existence. I just wonder if my understanding of the human spirit having a finite beginning, but an eternity to look forward to could not also fit into your explanation. After all, despite our beginning, we have become eternal beings.
