However no one has been able to extrapolate beyond Planck Time (the first quantum of time) due to the lack thereof.
Even the most rudimentary background googling should have flagged that up.

If science is a methodology for observing, predicting, and understanding the natural world then what would it have to say for a state of affairs that contains no natural world?
It says obvious conmen will try to convince you that there is whatever you desire in a location which they are themselves ignorant of and all you have to do is give them access to your financial resources.

It would probably say, "derp". [emoji56]

That's just silly.

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.'

Let me have a stab...
Not one of those silly atheists who don't believe in God.
Not one of those silly religious people who believe in man-made religions.
Just your regular enlightened theist person who thinks philosophy is a rod that you can tape onto the end of science to extend its reach past the evidence.
New information suggests there is much time for growth however. Fingers crossed.
