> George's belief in the theory that a universe can spring from nothing is consistent with his belief that life can assemble itself without any guiding intelligence.-Here is a discussion of chirality of amino acids from a math probability view that totally negates George's theory, using math, a field of George's expertise:-http://procrustes.blogtownhall.com/2010/04/27/homochirality_and_darwin.thtml-> 
> Do you mean that the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe, but there was a conscious intelligence (God) that organized it? If so, there has to be a temporal "before", since a cause must precede an effect, and the something that existed before was God (your "First Cause").-An eternal first cause, not in time, as we perceive it. The UI always exists, and creates universes at will. No other concept fits my view. The big Bang is a 'first event' in a new universe creating space and time (as we view it). there is no time without space before the BB.
