Not exactly. At the point of the singularity, space-time was not present. Without the temporal dimension in place, the natural causal relationship between cause and effect is not in place.
Nicely stated. This indicates a problem with one of the premises in the argument, which is one of the reasons I find the OP of limited use. Some things may not be caused by any conventional meaning of that term, and for those things, requiring an explanation to be causal is simply silly.

It has no beginning and thus cannot be explained. The time element, and causal relationships are not important in this origin state.
These statements, in my opinion, make no sense. As used here, those statements are only premises or axioms which themselves are not subject to inquiry or a requirement to be demonstrated.
On the other hand, folks have every right to question them, and ask that they be demonstrated.

I'm not saying anything new. The two 1st thing origin states are clearly stated in the OP.
Yes. Those things regarding origin states are in the OP, but they are not demonstrated to be correct as a step leading to your conclusion. Why do you think that pointing out that you already said something in the OP makes any progress towards demonstrating that your proof is correct?
Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Re: Simple question. Simple answer.
Nope. Because they are independent, one might have a 99.99999999% chance and the other 0.99999999%. Or any combination of numbers in between
Those two numbers add up to 101%

Re: Simple question. Simple answer.
These possible occurrences are independent and therefore have equal probability of occurring, i. e., each has a 50% chance of occurring.
I won the lottery, or I did not. Each has a fifty percent chance of occurring?
Your argument is just as silly as the one that this thread is based on. I assume highlighting the silliness is your point.
