Harvey, It so happens that I believe in the 'Cuaseless infinite chain". It is one of the ways in which my god is infinite. God and the universes have always existed. Your statement: "In the first case you have everything in the world that has no explanation" just does not make any sense to me.

It seems to me that the Bojowald/Smolin (BS) cosmology explains everything. I see no reason why a first cause is necessary. What exists is a continuing series of similar causes that puts the Mega universe into a steady state equilibrium. Whereas our micro universe undergoes profound change.

On another aspect of your post, I believe that a tree may fall in the forest without an intelligence to observe it. But truth cannot happen without intelligent observation. Truth is therefore subjective.
