A backward flowing waterfall would violate the law of gravity, so saying no laws of physics are violated is a bit of a stretch.
No, it does not. The law of gravity, indeed all known laws of physics as far as i know, works just as well with forward progression of time as in backward progression of time. Backward flowing waterfall would only violate the forward progression of time, not the law of gravity.

Ah, no. Observation says universe as observable by current techniques and describable by current state of physics hasn't eternally existsed.
I suspect you know the critical importance of the difference, but thought it was theistically righteous to pull a fast one for Jesus by ignoring the difference.
