| When I say the Universe has no beginning, that includes time. It means the Universe has always existed and there was never a "time" when it did not.
*If* that is true, then it absolutely means there could not have been a creator. Something that is not created never had a creator, right? After all, that is the argument that theists put forth about their gods. The same is true for the Universe itself.
That's all that means.
Also, if you take a creator out of the equation, then there is no justification for a god at all. I think that is why, deep down, so many mainstream scientists do not want to give up the Big Bang Theory. Doing so has very important metaphysical implications, which lead to moral implications.
I say that such would be a huge advance forward for all humanity, but many who are locked into theism cannot see it because they have been lead to believe a falsehood and they have no reference for an alternative way to think.
