SkeptiCat #7: When “Spontaneous” Means “Already Assumed”
SkeptiCat audits a “scientific” theory making the rounds
Timergence is the appeal that, given enough time, enough universes, enough trials, or enough hidden cosmic machinery, anything can happen.
But possibility is not causation.
Probability is not a mechanism.
And “spontaneous” does not explain the preloaded laws, logic, information, fields, entropy, and action needed before anything can happen.
Inflation may model features inside the universe.
Eternal inflation overreaches when it becomes an origin story.
The beginning moved.
The burden stayed.
SPONTANEOUS ETERNAL INFLATION = TIMERGENCE WITH A PHYSICS DEGREE
