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?I don't know how to answer that. It's clearly the rule in our universe. It's pretty hard for me to weigh in on any other. I don't know why you think that is a "gotcha" question. I don't really feel pinned to the wall with those.
You again in a previous post: "Any thoughts as to what God was doing for infinity prior to creating the universe?"
This leaves one of two possibilities. The first is that you're a hypocrite. And the second is that you don't understand that each is the age old infinite regress problem.
Your problem is that being a methodological naturalist you are bound to come up with a better answer than you don't feel got. Creationists have no such duty. They have, by definition, faith.
You understand now?
