So you can falsify the beginning of physics? How would you do that?
Where did I claim that? We were talking about science's alleged silence regarding non-physical things.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The Abrahamic religions all claim to worship a god who is non-physical but who (once upon a time) interacted directly and often with the physical world. Hell, he ate lunch with fucking Abraham!
Such a being, if it existed and affected the world through its interaction with it, would presumably leave effects that could be studied.
And he has. what do you think the Bible is?

Even a series of mental events is enough to form a before and after (therefore some measure of "time"). Why does causation need space-time to work? Further, why can't a cause can be simultaneous with its effect?
I don't think you are right about the B theory of time. You might not prefer to call it a beginning, but it will have a front edge. You still have cause and effect to measure a before and after all the way back to that front edge. I merely pointed out that if the B theory of time is correct, it would actually be a more simple relationship between God and time than on the A theory.
Depends if god is anything god himself would need simple like a photon. Even then photons are visible but
are in a timeless state for how fast they move. So if god is in a similar state of a photon how could said being
do anything at all and also how would said being not be visible if it emits any sort of light.
I would respond if I understand anything at all in that paragraph.

Jehanne brought up that God should be falsifiable in response to my discussion on God existing timeless until the creation of the universe.

Show me a theologian who denies God is omnipotent or omniscient--including the reasons they give. Regarding "falsifiable"--this is natural theology. This is inductive reasoning. "Falsifiable" has nothing whatsoever to do with the scientific method--which by definition cannot even comment on non-physical issues.
True that, the scientific method has no way to inspect what is not real. Next piece of nonsense, please.

"god?" Here's a good book for you, "36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction":

Did you actually listen to the interview??? This is a discussion on how free will interacts with God's knowledge and doctrinal distinctions. It is not proving what you think it does. Are you going to try again or do you just move on to another ridiculous assertion because that one didn't stick.
