Sure it does. If there's no before time, then the notion of cause and effect need not be applied. You're essentially saying that the notion that there is no "before" time began is irrelevant because you'd still need something before time.
Quote:The universe was obviously not in in eternal state from this perspective but started at time zero be there a before or no before that. Therefore it's not logical to state it caused itself.
What are you basing that on? The current science states that we'd need an entirely new set of physics and languages before we can even begin to approach what stuff was like at the Planck time and potentially prior to it, but you have some special knowledge about what could or could not cause our current universe at that time? How's that?
