If there was a 1st moment in time.
#15
RE: If there was a 1st moment in time.
You're just engaged in special pleading. If something with a will can do something in a timeless state, then something without a will (whatever that means) can do things in a timeless state. The main problem is that things "doing" things outside of time is an incoherent notion, so you simply want to carve out an exception to that by fiat. It doesn't work that way. If you can exempt willed things from the constraints of timelessness, there's nothing stopping me from doing the same from a being or thing without will. The only cover you have for the one rather than the other is the fact that you have a vague and ill defined metaphysics of timelessness and being, allowing "magic" to be claimed as an explanation. If you can invoke magical explanations, then so can I. Otherwise you've just engaged in a double standard.
