Doltologist: with that interesting statement and no movement through time, the concept of an un-created creator becomes a possibility.
No, it doesn't. You're just mixing words up in a new type of salad, but it's still a word salad.
A deist /creator worker looms as a possibility to have originated and used that what we have now discovered at the fringes.
It could also be a teapot made of rhinocerus wool spoons. You've provided exactly as much evidence for either or any possibility.

I have no problem with people who say "I don't know."
I do have problem with people adamantly declaring they DO KNOW that no Designer exists.
Do you have a problem with people claiming they do know a Designer exists also? If not, why not? It's not like you have any evidence for it, as this thread shows.

Go back and read your very first comment on this thread.
You accused me of being "wrong" on my Stephen Hawking quote.
Where was I wrong?
Or are you just going to deflect and use ad hominem?
Yes, I said you were wrong. Being "wrong" is a not a personal attack, nor is it accusing you of lying or misrepresentation.
Where you were wrong was in the portion I quoted.

Well you did entitle the thread the case for theism. I guess I just assumed you meant a personal God and not just "something".
Don't apologize. It's a common tactic for theists to present an "argument" and then, when pointed out that their claims don't match reality, the actual definition of words, etc., to whine and complain about being misunderstood and complain that words have specific meanings.
It's not your fault, it's a tactic to avoid having to say anything but sound like they did and play the victim when called on it.

Viviane, you started this thread by accusing me of lying or misrepresenting what Stephen Hawking said.
I want you to show me where I did that.
I didn't start this thread nor say you were lying or misrepresenting what Stephen Hawking said. You are free to want a lot of things. I've no idea how you think your wants has any meaning for me.

Stephen Hawking himself declares that if "Imaginary Time" ends up being false that means...
"There would have to be something outside the universe, to wind up the clockwork, and set the universe going."
That in no way supports your false claim.

Viviane,
A couple more Stephen Hawking quotes:
Yes, and none of that supports your false claim.

Just opened my browser after being out for a few hours. Saw this thread title and then three little Viviane avatars on the right - I just burst out laughing, knowing opening the thread would see the OP ripped to shreds.
I'm feeling a bit saucy today :)
