    If a god created time, wouldn't time already have to exist for him to be at the beginning?
    Possibly a higher dimension version of time, but not our time.
    Are we assuming that the relationship of cause and effect exists outside our own minds, or did that get proven at some point?
    I assumed that if something has a beginning than it has a cause. Cause and effect has never been proven, but it is a stronger theory than any scientific theories we have. (note: my assumption is stronger than cause and effect (because cause and effect implies my assumption, but not the other way around))
    If he is constantly creating time from some other place on a different dimensional scale,
    We don't know whether he is constantly creating time or not, this only shows that at least one version of time was created.
    why does the universe having a beginning point to a god?
    If we accept that the laws of physics as we understand them allow for a god to exist eternally, why don't they allow for prior universes to exist eternally?
    If they follow the rules of our universe, they cannot exist eternally. Therefore, if they do exist eternally, they can be seen as "supernatural" to us. Furthermore, if that universe was the cause of our universe, they must have enough power to create time, energy and space.

    I haven't done much quantum mechanics, does it allow for time travel? I remember reading a theory where a very small loop at the beginning of time with a small chance of becoming the big bang, eventually became the big bang. I read that a long time ago, and briefly though.
    Hopefully someone else can answer this, (I haven't taken any Quantum courses yet, but I hope to do some as electives) but keep in mind, this idea would still not be an explaination for the beginning as it still requires time and energy.

    There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
