Quote:Because then you'd have to deal with logical problems associated with timeless entities, including timeless causation.

lol, I'd have to do no such thing.  'Timeless entities' and 'timeless causation' are nonsense terms.  It would be like asking 'How tall is Sunday?' or 'How many salads make up a purple?'.

As I said, this is only a non-problem for theists.  No atheist I'm aware of spends a helluva lot of time worring about timeless entities.
