Cosmology Limits of science by definition God is outside & beyond nature TRANSCENDENT Evaluate evidence – Scientific Method requires observable realities in our universe Establish probability Provides qualified truth* Current theories always subject to more data: You don’t know what you don’t know!

Evidence for a beginning Beginning implies creation Beginning implies creation T = 0; no “time” before T = 0; no “time” before Nothing comes from nothing Nothing comes from nothing But the universe is something, it could not have caused itself!

Beginning req’d for all! 1999 Guth: eternal into the future, but not the past Guth: eternal into the future, but not the past B-V Guth: speed of light creates a boundary 2003 B-V Guth: speed of light creates a boundary “past-eternal inflation w/o a beginning is impossible” “past-eternal inflation w/o a beginning is impossible”

Conclusions The boundary to past time (required in the BVG theorem) could indicate an absolute beginning of the universe or a pre-pre-big bang era with a completely different physics. If it is the latter, then the pre-big-bang period would also have to have had a boundary to its past time (because it would have a rate of expansion greater than zero). Eventually, one will reach an absolute beginning when there are no more pre-pre-pre-big- bang eras.
