Hi Stephen P. King
There was only one Big Bang, at least this time around,
because they have been able to measure it happening
about 19 billion years ago. There are otgher measurments
such as the background radiation that tell us more about it.

Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him
so that everything could function."

IMHO I would put it that life begets life, no means required.
Just as at Christmas time in church we pass a flame
from one candle to another.
Creation was like an ignition of life like a flame,
like lighting a match.
Hi Roger,
But you are still not seeing the point that there is a difference between
ontologies that postulate a special initial event that holds globally for all
worlds and ontologies that consider initial events as the dual of event
horizons, e.g they are local events and not global absolutes. I am inclined to
believe in an Infinite and eternal Omniverse within which our local universe is
just a finite projection of the whole. This includes the idea that it will
appear to have an initial event simply because the observers in this universe
cannot look back any further than our common event horizon. What Life is or is
not is a debate for some other time.

1) The pre-established harmony is beyond the laws of physics.
For nothing is perfect in this contingent world. The preestablished
harmony was designed before the beginning of gthe world,
and since God is good, presumably gthe pre-established
harmony is the best possible one in a contingent world.
Hi Roger,
One cannot make claims that are self-contradictions. Creation can not
happen if the means that allow the creation are not available prior to the
creation.
One indication is the sheer improbability of the structure of the
physical universe so that life is possible.
I liken it to a divine musical composition with God as the
conductor, and various objects playing parts in harmony.
2) The monads have no windows, so they are all blind.
The perceptions are images are provided by God, or the Supreme monad,
the only one able to see all and know all. Each monad
is provided with a continually updated view of the perceptions\
all all of the mother monad perceptions, so it k nows everything
in the universe from its own point of view.
3) I have been criticized for calling the monadic structure as tree-like,
and I could be wrong. But as I understand them, the monads
can be described by category theory if that's the right word,
since each substance can be desribed by its predicates and
presumably the predicates have predicates and
so on.
Since all of the monads necessarily are within the supreme
monad, it would be the root of the tree. Of course a tree
with an infinite number of branches and subbranches, etc.
