John, Yes, you are absolutely correct it depends on the universe being a logical structure. That 2nd fundamental Axiom is in my book on Reality also. However there is overwhelming evidence for that...
You slightly misunderstand my statement that 'there is no need for a creation event'. Of course it is clear the big bang occurred but that was not a creation event so much as an actualization event out of a state of existence similar to a generalized quantum vacuum which existed 'prior' (in single quotes since there was no clock time then so prior is misleading in that sense) to the big bang and in fact must have always existed and still exists as the substrate, or logical space of reality, in which the information of the actualized universe continually computes its current state. Hope that clarifies things... Never fear, I agree with you and the astronomers there was a big bang! Edgar On Wednesday, December 25, 2013 10:05:34 AM UTC-5, Edgar L.
