I'm still interested in what religious believers think their god was doing before creation? I don't care which god you follow. If I may ask, to what end? Do you hope to find something convincing in what they say? Do you hope to dissuade them? Or some third end I have not thought of? |

So, just what did God do before creating the universe? this is a basic question in philosophy It Is called causal first cause the answer is left to the individual to decide because there is no set answer. |

There's a logical way out of this kind of argument. It seems the general point of contention is 'what created THIS (the Universe) or us. That's a presuppositional enquiry. It assumes that something had a creation at all. Our minds aren't evolved well to handle certain concepts. But we can. (e.g. Einstein [space time etc] If the Universe is eternal then there is no causation required. It's a complex idea for our minds to comprehend. spatially. And if that's true it should be true in temporal dimension. In other words, it doesn't matter where one observor starts his measure. No creation event need occur. Picture a point you make on a piece of paper with a pencil. Draw the line out indefinitely. That is an eternal line given that if it exists in physical space it goes on and on. That's a physical perameter. If existence itself is the axiomatic point of existence then there shouldn't be a question over its validity. Philosophers like Leibniz asked 'Why is there something and not nothing'?. We exist and would not be around to ask the questions he asks otherwise. Founder of BOINC team Objectivists.
