“Any passage is understood from the point of departure to the point of arrival. Now, whatever past day we take as our starting point, from that day to today there is a finite number of days that can be crossed. Whereas the objection assumes that between two extremes there is an infinite number of intervals.”

Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica.
