dhw: […] you wrote: “there is no before before the BB. Time didn’t exist. This was proven by Guth, Borde and Valenkin by mathematics years ago, presented by my books and here.”

DAVID: […] I accept Guth's findings that time started with our BB expressed by saying there is no 'Before' before our BB.

dhw: You wrote: “I accept the definition of time as a sequence of events only when they exist in a BB that contains time, which by definition ours does and therefore possible/imaginary prior BB’s did.” Do you or do you not believe that it is POSSIBLE that your God may have created BBs before ours? If you think it is possible, then you do not believe that Guth & Co have proven that there was no ‘Before’ before our BB, and that time started with our BB.

DAVID: Repeat: Guth et al were simply saying time started with our BB. Our imagination about past BB's does not change Guth's point.

I know what Guth was saying, and of course your belief in a God who may have created earlier BBs doesn’t change his point. It simply means you disagree with his point. Please stop playing these silly word games.
