I come back to this topic on the origin of the universe, because my last video I thought was to condensed to get the message through, hopefully this one won't suck. References:

Steinhardt tries to obfuscate the subject by calling the past Semi-infinite, this disingenuous trick does nothing to abrogate the finite past or the beginning of the universe, that is implied by Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem.

  • I fail to see how a timeless, thus changeless, entity can be considered a cause. How does a personal agent freely choose and further create despite his inability to act in time or change and both decision and creation are causal actions that demand time and change?
