singlarity you've only continued your quest to not have an answer, something
you can compare to creation.

now lets analyse the last bit of that i.e. “...you only talk about some other STAGE as if that is the BEGINNING ...”. (my emphasis)
I said that time may have began at the singularity -if so, then the singularity was at the beginning of time and, since any process can only occur within a period of time by the very definition of the word “process” itself, there could be no process before it thus that first stage would have been causeless and the ONLY thing identifying the “beginning” as the beginning would be not a process but that first stage itself i.e. the singularity.
If that standard model is true, how can the first stage of a process NOT be the beginning?
Even if that standard model is false and time didn't ever begin, that would mean we can only speculate (at least for now) what what came before but that is no excuse to assume a god must have had something to do with it.
