Attack of the Theocrats!
Hm, something important we should ask I think...Does this theory about the creation of the universe makes any mathematical predictions about anything we can test? Say, the geometry or total mass of the universe or the mass of any elemental particles? Things like that. Is it a consistent set of principles, are there equations that describe the whole thing, like the 10 field equations of GR for example? Surely there must be something you can do with the theory othen than merely say 'we don't need god(s) to start the whole thing". I think that's quite important.
