It's also good for answering the two most common questions in there, "How are you?" and "What religion are you?"

The usual analogy is a globe, and the north-south direction representing time, and the north pole being "time zero". Since there is no earth north of the north pole, nor south of the south pole, then all existing latitudes represent a part of the earth, just like all possible time coordinates represent a time in the universe, ie, the universe has always existed. Kind of a tautology, if one properly defines "always existing", but one that I like.
