The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines the word eternal, in part, as 1. Being without beginning or end; 2. Continuing without interruption; perpetual. When pressed to imagine inherent things that might have been evident throughout the world’s history, we might say air, light, or water. But on second thought, we know that…
