104. trying to wrap my head around your post...failing.

Even if space and time are curved incursions into themselves, they still EXIST in some fashion. Their existence must still have been caused or provided. To have something exist merely because it already exists is a neat abstract conception, but I do not think it explains away the mystery, merely sidesteps it.

similar to someone I had a discussion with once:

He: I don't think there's a God.
Me: where did the universe come from?
He: I think aliens from another universe came here and seeded this one with life.
Me: ok. where did THEIR universe come from?
He: they were started by a previous universe...

it has a misleading feeling of resolution but it merely avoids answering the core question:
what is the first cause?
