Theland, you don't need an alternative proven theory to rule others out. That is just a change of subject. I would like to hear about your theory, especially as you are about the only person who is sure.
Not really. Without time to put things in order who is to say whether cause and effect have meaning ? The universe may have always been here. But for the sake of discussion we can assume an uncaused first cause if you like. I like that because of believing in the 'Big Bang'. The uncaused cause was probably the universe (however defined) itself. Which brings us on to the definition anyway. Did the 'Big Bang' occur in one part of an existing universe, or is it the start of all that is ? Or maybe one start of many, but all we know of is this one ?
I'm not mocking you, theland. I am genuinely interested in your thoughts, and why? I am not claiming to know, myself, so I don't need to prove a theory.
How did an uncaused God exist? And how is anything eternal?
There is a God. Past and future eternal.
Get your head around that and everything else falls k to place.
There is not other sensible explanation.
Is there?
If so, what?
