I love the way you explain time.

Just a small point. The common problem with the lottery comparison is that the lottery is not always won.

I like the numbers idea..my problem is, as Aquinas said, change requiring an agent of change, first movers. I believe you address this elsewhere, but I still find it problematic. Re. evil (and sin itself)..being a Xian I hate to bash them, but they build concepts off of translations, and these terms are problematic, not for you, but for the person who posed the question..ie, the question may not mean what they desire it to..

ie. evil and sin don't mean what they used to. Of course, that is no fault of yours, it is ours for being so uneducated in our texts and the zelous of us speaking without understanding..

mutation(change) is caused by environmental agents such as ultraviolet light, nuclear radiation, certain chemicals or background radiation from space. In a nutshell when particles of DNA get hit by particles of environment. another cause are mistakes that occur when a cell copies its DNA in preparation for cell division called mitosis

That does not answer the first mover question.

[joshguitarTube]

you mean the question what caused the universe?

the problem here is that cause and effect requires time.

So time must have been existed before the universe was created.

you can do a simple test. shortly before punching someone's face take a photo.

photos are timeless.

When you look at the photo then you know that your fist will hit the face in reality.

But in the photo it ain't gonna ever happen. therefore time is required for cause and effect.

the next problem is that time requires space and matter cuz time describes the movement of matter.

Movement requires at least two locations to move from A to B

But without space everything is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. therefore no movement from A to B possible therefore no time.

Even Einstein found out that time and space, physicists call it spacetime, belong together by his theory of relativity.

I love the photo analogy thats amazing!
