Attn: Theists - What would it take to prove you wrong?

[Sword of Christ]

But we don't. What existed prior to one Planck unit of time *after* the big bang? What was the state of the universe?

You can't have a time before time itself existed. God exists beyond time and brought time into existence so you can have events that run in a sequence. The events begin with the Big Bang.

Or are you going to dodge this question again?

You're dodging the question because we are talking about what is responsible for the existence of the laws of physics. You can't use the laws of physics to explain the origins of the universe as they only exist within the universe as part of the universe. You can't use what you're trying to explain to explain what you're trying to explain. There has to be an explanation beyond and separate to what you're trying to explain. God would fit the bill very nicely. What kind of God? This one right here will do.



But that's a slightly different debate. You have to start with an appreciation of Gods general existence before you can get into what he told us about himself in the holy scriptures right there.
