RE: Entropy, Kalam, and First Cause
March 18, 2015 at 2:59 pm
The problem remains that even if you grant the conclusion, there is no way to know what that "cause" is. So it doesn't explain anything.

Adding Morgan Freeman standing just outside the Big Bang doesn't explain it either, and then brings in the whole problem of "why is MF there, where did he come from, what caused him?" It's a mental pacifier which falls apart if it looked at too closely.
Feel free to send me a private message.
