So a cliche is a word or phrase used over and over again in lieu of the original.”

“Huemer argues that it is at least plausible that the past is not finite, so we have decent evidence to believe in eternal recurrence. Theologists and religious studies folks do not like this argument for the same reasons they do not like Pascal's Wager, which is that it seems to mathematically cheat to conclusions that religions have taken thousands of years to articulate.”
