Rod, on what basis do you leap outside of "this" universe to create other universes? Nothing you found in this universe, I trust. Your "extra-universal space" is worse than the arbitrary leprechans of your previous post. At least the leprechans are knowable. To put it another way, if it's not part of the universe, whatever it has, it's not existence.

Rod, >> either this universe is eternal or something created it; otherwise it wouldn't be here. << "Something created it" implies that there can be such a thing as time, causality and existents "before" the universe. But these things exist _in_ the universe. I lifted the phrase "makes as much sense as asking what is north of the north pole" from a cosmologist who used it to describe the question "what happened before the big bang." There can be no such thing as before the beginning of the universe.
