That’s not a logical answer. It’s an answer, which might be correct, but based entirely on faith. Faith is not to be confused with logic.

Faith is a belief, based in hope and trust, but unsupported by actual facts.

My answer introduces nothing not already on the table according to your question. This tells us you have introduced the component of faith whereas I merely accept the premise you established.

So here’s the logic in my answer, which is not based on faith but on your premise that a question can be asked about “what God was doing for infinity” (in other words, you cannot ask a question about God and then deny your opponent the right to answer simply because you claim God doesn’t exist):

Intelligence is quantifiable, therefore can be described as hierarchical, following which we can logically conclude God occupies a higher rung on that scale than humans. Logic dictates that God as creator of the universe has the capacity to understand and to answer questions pertaining to the origin of that entity we know as time, and that we have far less of such capacity.

The opposing arguments to each of these points are illogical.

Neither is condescension.

You don't have faith in God because God allows bad things to happen. Yet you post on a website that preaches freedom. You see a problem there?

But you're correct about faith, faith is not science. Which puts a large burden on science.

So tell me DG, where did the E, M and C come from in Einstein's famous E=MC^2? Was it there before time started? Was it stored in some other universe? Of course that just is the ultimate regress that materialists impose on God. But what the hell, what's good for the Luddite creationists is certainly good for the secular materialists.

BTW, the fellow that posited the BBT was a Catholic Priest. Perhaps his faith led him to that magnificent piece of scientific work, perhaps not. But the secular materialists were enmeshed in a steady state universe because their secularism demanded it. They were, evidently, wrong and the Catholic Priest was correct. Life's a bitch.
