Maybe in this context it would be useful to reflect about time.

Our life is a continuous concatenating of present moments. And every present moment is new. But where do they come from? Nobody knows.

I see time as a continuous gift from Someone outside of our physical Universe. No other explanation is logically possible, because any explanation would come from inside our Universe -- but fresh new present moments can't be located inside, otherwise they would not be new.

I'm not sure if your post is meant to be read as philosophical/theological or as your actual interpretation of the way time exists in our universe.

If it's the latter, you might find sections of RobotRollCall's first comment in this reddit discussion enlightening: http://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/fjwkh/why_exactl...

If it's the former, well, I guess you're probably right. Nobody knows. At least, nobody thinking about it in a purely philosophical/theological context.
