Not allowing you to dictate the rules of engagement entails not allowing you to control the dictionary

What does dictionary have to do with it? Since when does dictionary determine if God is a hypothesis or a fact? My comment was about you presenting your beliefs as "proof" of God's existence.

space/time precedes physical causation therefore the cause of space/time cannot be "in" space/time (physical, thing, event, caused.)

That is a theory, not a fact. How do you know there was no time or space? Science has been wrong almost as often as it was right. Not so long ago, medical science denied the pathogenic basis of the disease. Guess what? It had to eat crow—with feathers!

Just because today's scientists believe in the Big Bang and quantum mathematicians "prove" on their blackboards that space/time did not exist, or because a book says God created in the "beginning", or because someone believes there are pink unicorns on Jupiter does not make it a fact.

LOLOL!

Since I will not allow you to the control the dictionary, e.g. "fact" and "proof" - and other rules of engagement, e.g. false analogy (a logical fallacy btw) - then we have nothing further to discuss.

But it has been interesting. Thanks for the banter, dear kosta50!
