I think I'm going to need more than one cup of coffee this morning before I can think about cause and effect with a reverse time flow.

I think addressing the problem is beyond the range and scope of my mental abilities. But I am not going to jump to the conclusion of a supernatural being creating the universe. Actually if I was prone to that type of thinking, I would expect several supernatural beings to be involved and not just one.

I am having a problem right now deciding when I head out on the briny at 5 AM in the dark into that cold easterly wind , whether I should get greedy and make a try for the haddock on the north shoals in 100 feet of water or go directly to the east and fish 240 feet of water where I know the haddock are located.

If I get on them in the shallower water I will get twice as many fish in the boat in the same period of time as fishing the deeper water. I think I can get that problem resolved before daybreak. But supernatural beings and the origin of the universe still stumps me. - tom

We're together on that one, that's for sure.   Being or beings --totally meaningless also when considering realities outside time and space.  

My workday is wrapping up here now and I just had a day full of the same kind of chaotic uncertainties that you've had.   You with haddock and me with picking stocks.   I suppose it's what my Psych 1A prof called a "double avoidance conflict' --choosing between two things that are difficult.  I wake up, ponder the artificial qualities of the cosmos, give up and pick out stocks to buy on line. 

OTOH, after a day like today I'm ready to consider that cosmology may be the simpler problem.
