To clarify, it is not that causality is in anyway shown unnecessary in relativity and quantum mechanics, but simply that it takes on a whole new level of complexity. One aspect of causality, that the cause precedes the event, is shown inaccurate at those levels. However the idea that every event has a cause is still true, but the cause is not bound to be before(as we know it) but simply separate or outside of the event's influence. An event still requires a cause.

it is well accepted that space and time have a beginning. this not a radical new concept, it is quite common

to say, say nondimensional is also to infinitely dimensional, or rather not tied to a dimensional law. Clearly more complex

First I would like to point out the the seat of consciousness and intelligence has been attributed, though not wholly, to the brain. Not the posterior. So it is not possible to have a smart ass. As to being "lame", my comments are like water compared to the wine described by the best scientists on these subjects. Though everyone drinks water.

"wanna einstein"? Whatever that is, why the show of anti-intellectualism? Do you think you have some nobility in a show of willful ignorance?

If it lacks dimension then it would be less complex, as more dimensions the more complex the fundamental measure of anything would be. But that argues against what you are saying about a "creator" and causality. Causality has further implications because of it's inherent relationship with thermodynamics.
The principle aspect of which is that an effect cannot be greater than the cause. Thus the multidimensional effect of the universe would be greater than your "nondimensoinal creator".

"Causality and the fact that space-time has a beginning implies that this Prime Cause is non-dimensional and independent of space-time, i.e. a Creator."

After having proved that spacetime had a beginning, something that would undoubtedly have won you the Nobel prize in physics, it would not in fact imply that it is non-dimensional. I am guessing you mean dimensional as in the measure of spacial aspect. Though if something is "nondimensional" then it lacks dimension, CONT

"Since space-time has a beginning there was a first physical occurrence."
Well that is wrong five different ways from sunday, but at least you are watching science programming and I hope that you continue your education on this. On this very subject you are poking at I migh suggest a good author is Brian Greene and his book "The Fabric Of The Cosmos". He uses lots of fun analogies and examples to put across complex ideas, making Physics an accessible and exciting subject.

"It is a fundamental law of physics (causality) that every physical occurrence in the universe has a cause."

This is somewhat Newtonian, a little out of date. I suggest you brush up on your physics if you wish to use it in a discussion. Try reading up on the some recent theories like relativity and quantum mechanics. The causality you are speaking of here still remains valid at the human level of experience. But is no longer the accepted view of physics.
