The “angels on the head of a beer, uh, pin” thing is about the difference between location and extension. A point does not occupy space.

I think certainly once you have creatures you have “before and after” so I think you have to have time. But I’m not sure you would have to have space. That is, of course angels appear and make stuff happen. But I’m not sure they HAVE to appear, that they essentially take up space. I’m not saying they don’t, I’d just like to see the explanation.

There is only One uncaused cause. If an Angel effects something physical then the Angel has been a cause for the effect achieved. Thus the Angel is in some form of where/when (my designation for spacetime) if it causes an effect. Prove for me that a point occupies no space. Dimension space has three measureable expressions, linear, planar, and volume, but a point has no measureable expression. Does this mean it does not exist or that it occupies no space? Even Planck’s distance is a mathematical amount, and any linear expression of space is composed of points along the linear span. A photon crosses the universe of space remaining always in the present of when it was emitted. Does this mean it does not occupy temporal expression?

I just finished my evening glass of wine, BTW. Hope your beer is pleasing.
