In reply to #380:
Yes, and that’s the paradox that cannot allow a timeless entity to suddenly perform an act at a particular, finite moment in time.
I don't follow the First Cause argument that way. It argues for the necessity of something uncaused to begin the chain of causation. Though causation and time are intertwined, perhaps I'm wrong in associating the First Cause argument to your point.
Nevertheless, your statement:
a timeless, everlasting entity - an entity outside the realms of time, is also a changeless entity. How then did this entity, that from all eternity, suddenly rose up just prior to when the Big Bang occurred, to create it?is not self-evident in my opinion. It would be more sensical to state that only something outside time could cause time. This (being outside time) also avoids the infinite regresses of "what was before..." and "what caused the cause before that one.."
It is precisely by being outside time, change, cause that avoids "the paradox that cannot allow a timeless entity to suddenly perform an act at a particular, finite moment in time."
