My thoughts as for the origional statements/questions: I view time as a concept created by man for man. And I view eternity as a concept created by man for man. So if man wants time to be a infinate line rather than an finite line segment and therefore cannot understand eternity, then it is that man's choice to not understand eternity.
Eternity is everything from the beginning to the end, no matter where the beginning or end are, or even if there is a beginning or an end. It could be just one big infinate loop. If that is the case, then after the end comes the beginning, and after the beginning, the end, and so on.
Time is how time is, and it is different for everyone.

I don't see the logic in claiming that time is a social construction, due to our inability to comprehend infinity.
Time can be either finite or infinite....it is still time regardless.
Second of all, if time is only something that you have created, then why can't you see into the "future"? (which doesn't exist remember).
