Ralphd2: You did not explain: " 2)-"since the universe began at an instant of time, there must be a time before time, and an existence before reality". You give me 4 options. That means you don't know right? That means we do not know what occurred before animal evolution correct? That means we don't know how creation started correct? So we have not yet ruled out guiding hand unless you presuppose something came out of nothing? Any choice there ? TA ========================================= >>Ralphd2: Please explain: 2)-"since the universe began at an instant of time, there must be a time before time, and an existence before reality" TA<< time and space are the same, just different flavors of the same thing. without matter/energy, space/time is an invalid concept. before the big bang, what exsisted? was everything compressed into a single point of non exsistance? was there truly No things? immediately prior to the beginning of spacetime, DID anything exsist? or did we explode out if the nothingness into somethingness? prior to the observable universe's creation, we have a few options 1> nothing exsisted, and the first law of thermodynamics is violated as it is created. (ie. something for nothing) 2> some other universe experienced it's last death-throes, and collapses to an undefinably small, infinitely dense point. (from which we all explose out of fractionally later). 3> the creator said "lets do something completely different" to the assembled unity of the goodhood, and decided to start reality as we know it. 4> put your best guess here.
