I'm not sure what it is that you think we are missing
Here's what you are missing: Whereas you consider the above, science you reject/miss that the eternal intelligent designer model of the universe should also be considered a possible/viable/debatable science model.

Re: Is that attitude intelligent, not to go further than the big bang?
Apart from a 'just so' story for why there is anything at all, what models could derive from 'goddidit'?
Larni writes:
The whole point is to understand 'how'. Even if a god did poof it out of nothing scientists would still want to know how (I know I would).
Yah sure, Larni, like IDist eternal universe science proponents would like to know and understand the appearance that the BB poofed from nothing. Whether or not we all acknowledge the other's interpretation of observed phenomena, there is supportive evidence for both arguments.
Larni writes:
But either way you get infinite regression: where did the creator come from? Which in turn regressess to 'it created it's self', and if something can create itself somthing does not need a creator.
Lol. Nothing eternal, by definition, ever created itself. That is at least equally scientific and possible as the universe having no before, no time or space in which to have happened, no outside of in which to expand and no time in which it could have happened.
Larni writes:
And last time I looked this was a science thread. Superstitions from the bronze age are hardly appropriate.

Buz, there is nothing funny about you not comprehending this - all of that makes perfect sense in world of mathematical physics. That it makes no sense to you is irrelevant and of no consequence to anyone.
If you want to introduce some factor into the explanatory framework, you need to define your terms. Do so, or shut up.
You tell me to shut up, due to incomprehensiveness after this? Message 26
What does "ethernal" mean? What does "intelligent" mean? What is a "designer"?
You expect me to comprehend your model of no before, no outside of, no space and time, when I, science peon Buz must define for you, the EvC renouned Cavediver, terms like ethernal (I assume eternal), intelligent?

Re: Comprehending terms.
nwr writes:
The terms "eternal", "intelligent" and "designer" are human concepts that are based on our experience in time-space. So, based on the standard BB model, "eternal" could only mean "since the big bang" and "intelligent designer" could only refer to some entity in the physical universe. Presumably that is not what you intended. Thus cavediver was asking for an explanation of what you really did intend.
I beg to differ. The BB does not define terms like eternal, designer and intelligent just because the BB is presumed to be temporal. Cavediver has the intelligence to determine the meaning of eternity, intelligence and designer relative to the context of the message to which he was responding.
Cavediver knew knew full well my intentions. The renouned scientist sports in making a fool out of the ole man. He should not fool with a fool until he's certain (abe: he's fooling with a) fool.

Re: Comprehending terms.
nwr writes:
The standard model is that BB creates time. So "time" does not apply to anything other than what follows BB. I'm not sure what you intended by "the BB is presumed to be temporal" but that is not anything that I would presume.
I understand that, but the terms which Cavediver called for the meaning of were eternal, intelligent and designer. Scientifically or otherwise, the BB does not define any of these, whether or not they are used in conjunction with the topic of BB or whether they are used in conjunction with another scientific topic.
My application of the term was relative to an eternal intelligent designer which allegedly exists in a non-temperal eternal universe. The context of my message left no question as to my intentions. Cavediver full well knew that. His condescending attitude towards lay folk sometimes un-necessarily muddies up constructive dialog.

The BB defines time. And the usual meaning of "eternal" depends on time. So, again, what does "eternal" mean such that it does not involve time?
Oh, so now we're into the definition of definition. My understanding of the word definition is that things being defined do not determine the definition of things pertaining to the thing being defined so as to accomodate POVs of BB groups. The BB allegedly defines itself so as for it's proponents to change the meaning of terms like eternity, intelligence and design, so as to absolve it's proponents of any need to explain the mysterious aspects of it.
The ID Bible, by this token, defines anything pertaining to itself for interpretation of anything pertaing to it to accomodate Biblical POV groups. Dictionary definitions need not be applied to anything Biblical.

Debunking opposing POVs relative to topic is what my input has been about. It's high time for someone to aire countering arguments for the redifinition of basic long established word meanings by the secularistic constituency, so as to accomodate otherwise unexplainable and unobservable aspects of the singularity which allegedly preciptated the BB.
Myths? Please! Asside from redefinition of words, the BB singularity event definably equates the BB, pre-empted by the alleged singularity.

Re: Redefining Definition
nwr writes:
It seems to say that words get their meaning by magic, and that therefore you are exempt from defining your terms since magic has already handled that.
So long as they/you redefine eternity to accomodate a temporal universe, yes it is mythical magic. There is nothing temporal about the true definition of eternity.
OTOH they/you think I should shoehorn your magic into the redefined concept of eternity, and other terms applied to aspects of science and logic.
The same goes with intelligent and design. You/they would, I assume, define intelligent design as something that emerged void of intelligent design, naturally from premordial non-living soup. That's sheer magic, imo, whereas an eternal designer/manager of the universe accomodates the long standing definition and accomodates most observed environs around us in that void of management, things decay and fall apart whereas things designed create order out of chaos.
Bottom line. Their's/yours implicates the magic whereas mine is logical and better explains the thermodynamic laws, real life observed, design and intelligence, etc without the need to redefine these word terms.
In spite of all of the above, secularists scoff Biblical ID as ideocy and unscientific nonsense, unfit for the science fora.

Why would it??? They are your terms, ID proponents' terms - they are not terms we ever use in cosmology. Why the hell would we?
My apologies, Cavediver. It was NWR who's message appears to convey the notion that the Universe defines these terms.
Do you agree with NWR's Message 40 and Message 43?
That's been one of my concerns, that rigorously necessitates dedifinition of words to accomodate impossible concepts in real life eyeball observations. Thus the need to resort to complicated, often little understood and debatable mathmatical models.

And you have to define what you mean by this. If, in a discussion on how to develop the next generation fighter aircraft, you arrive and announce that what we need is a good pair of wings, it would be utterly sensible to ask - what do you mean by "wings"?
Come on, Cavediver, after all of these years, you know full well that the Buzsaw eternal intelligent designer is Jehovah, the Biblical supreme creator. You should be aware of all of the corrobrating evidence I have cited relative to his existence, whether or not you ascribe to it.
As well, you know full well that by non-temporal eternal universe, I mean just that; that the space, time and all of the existing energy in the universe has eternally existed, managed by the eternal designer/creator. I'm sure you've known all of this for a long time, yet make an issue of it every time I allude to it.
This is what I meant by my allegation that you sometimes (I say sometimes) un-necessarily muddy up constructive dialog.
Having posted the above, forgive me if I have undermined the valuable contributions which you faithfully and consistently render to the cite in order to inform and edify us all, whether or not we can ever become compatible on the issues.
Over the years, it's been members like you who apprise folk like me on the nuts & bolts relative to concepts which science ascribes to. OTO, may Jehovah's enlightment come upon you and yours, so as for you to partake of his blessings and eternal life in his eternal universe.

Of course not. Intelligent Design is what humans do as opposed to what is seen in nature. Intelligent Design emerged only when humans learned enough to start modifying their personal environment.
Jar, fyi, intelligent design in implicated in the DNA information, so in that vein, it is implicated in nature. The problem, however, is that observation of the real world does not follow that model. It follows the model of order to disorder. Disorder left to itself is generally does not becoming more orderly and complex in design.
