Did you notice that you, again, attached a qualifier (negative) to your remark that automatically infers direction. Of course, eternal is used in relation to time. It's a more specific case of inifinity in it's use. You can say "an infinite amount of time" but I've never heard "an eternal amount of space". So what? Does that make the usage wrong if the definitions match?
