I am merely giving you an alternative that has one less step- a la Occam's razor. I am not arguing that the universe is or is not eternal. I am an agnostic- I don't BELIEVE anything, not for certain. I don't know what premise you've been operating under- but I merely suggested that logic would suggest cutting the designer out. Any qualities you give to your designer you could just as easily give to your universe- since you are simply defining your problem away. It's like fairy dust. You might as well sprinkle the fairy dust on the nearest object, as opposed to creating another object beyond the nearest object and sprinkling your fairy dust on that. Which is not to say I believe in fairy dust (any of the defined qualities you wish to give to the designer) the nearest object (the universe) or the other created object (the designer). You are only capable of "resolving" the issue by the use of fairy dust (pulluing definitions out of the air). Not much of a resolution- imo.
