Re: The Un-answerable Question (+1)
As for my thoughts on the matter, I believe that all existence is created by prior existence, this is more or less a scientifically proven fact. True that the universe probably stretches forwards and back throughout all time especially considering that time, though an abstract concept, more or less exists, if only conceptually. When time began, so did the universe.
It really is much simpler than I'm making it. Consider these:
Existence comes from prior Existence
As long as time existed, there was Existence
This, of course, brings up the problem of the beginning of time. Considering the above, there are only two answers:
1) We do not exist.
Perhaps a bit drastic for our purposes and most definitions of Existence define what we perceive, or believe to perceive, to exist in some form anyway.
2) Somehow later Existence begot the beginning of Existence.
If this is true, the "temporal time loops", something existing because of itself, is completely necessary. So the answer to your question is: all that is, the, Alpha and Omega is you will. If it was a being that did this, that being would be God, but I consider that unlikely. I think that, no matter how small the possibility of something happening, no matter how unlikely it is that it would happen, it will eventually happen if given an infinite amount of time, see "chimps writing Hamlet".
So time, or rather the failure of time to remain constant, created both itself and all else.
