>>>>>Does existence vs. nonexistence have a causal relationship to whether or not the universe needs an architect?<<<<< Hmmm. Good question. I would simply say that if there was a time, place, thingie, whatever, that the universe did not exist, then there had to be a cause of some kind that made it exist. Architect implies intelligence at work. Natural causes implies some natural order. Either is bizarre, because the intelligence and/or natural order had to exist somewhere other than in "A" universe, reducing it to the simplest. If the universe ALWAYS existed, or God ALWAYS existed, that's bizarre, too. It's obvious that I am using human words to describe something far bigger than my tiny mind can comprehend. But, as I said in the beginning, this is what stumps me. Sometimes it makes me too dizzy to even think about it.
