What does "planning" entail when making a cosmos? Did the designer draw up a blueprint? Or did the designer just do it all in their head? If this being is both powerful enough and intelligent enough to create the universe, did it really need to plan anything? Wouldn't it already know what to do?
Assuming it's a God did it, wouldn't it have done everything instantly? What was the designer doing with itself before the spacetime continuum? If it was indeed planning the universe prior to the creation, how did it go about doing that without time or cause and effect? How do you proceed through the cosmos-making process before cause and effect exists? It doesn't make sense. Wouldn't God have done everything right at the very first instant of time? Wouldn't the universe have begun at the same moment as God? If not, if the designer was there "before time" then this being operates outside of physical law as we understand it and as such it exists outside of human comprehension. Aren't we right back where we started?
