The Big Bang had to have been started by a designer.

Thank you for your response! Unfoundedness of First PremiseIn order to refute your argument, I must first introduce a few philosophical terms which you may or may not be familiar with. Creatio Ex Materia- "Creation out of Material"Creatio Ex Materia refers to anything that has been created from pre-existing stuff.Creatio Ex Nihilo- "Creation out of nothing"Creatio Ex Nihilo refers to anything which has not been created from pre-existing material.The first premise you use to make your argument is "Something cannot come from nothing.", as stated by the philosopher Parmenides.As you have stated previously, humans have absolutely no experience with things created Ex Nihilo. Humans only have experience with things created Ex Materia; from pre-existing material. Therefore, how can we apply our logic based around things created Ex Materia to things created Ex Nihilo? We don't know that something can't come from nothing, because everything that we have observed to have a cause has been a material cause, from things previously existing. To illustrate this, we know that a sculptor made a statue. But did he bring the matter for the statue into existence? Absolutely not. Everything we experience around us has been created Ex Materia. We have absolutely no experience with things created Ex Nihilo (Except perhaps for physicists, but I will get to that later), so your application of inductive logic based on the world around us, where everything has been created Ex Materia, is not logical.In order for your argument to work, you must support your first premise, that something cannot come out of nothing, which you have failed to do as of yet. You have only stated it as if it were a fact.Furthermore, relativity, upon which your argument is based (big bang) is incompatible with quantum mechanics, and breaks down at the infintesimally small scales such as the singularity at the beginning of the universe. David Humes, who knew nothing of relativity or quantum mechanics, illustrates this quite well:"But when we look beyond human affairs... When we carry our speculations into the two eternities, before and after the present state of things; before and after the present state of things; into the creation and formation of the universe; the existence and properties of spirits; the powers and operations of one universal spirit, existing without beginning and without end; omnipotent, omniscient, immutable, infinite, and incompre|hensible: We must be far removed from the smallest tendency to scepticism not to be apprehensive, that we have here got quite beyond the reach of our faculties."- David Humehttp://en.wikipedia.org...Everything we know about modern physics suggests that our intuitive notion of "what makes sense" no longer applies in these circumstances.Why an Intelligent Designer?You have not made any arguments yet as to why you believe that this intial cause of the universe must have been an intelligent designer.Why couldn't it have been some natural cause that led to the creation of the universe? First cause to god (even without a particular denomination) is quite a big leap.Cosmologists speculate about oscillating universes with multiple big bangs, or even that our "local" unvierse could be part of some greater "global" universe; we simply don't know. Only that these could be possibilities that can't be ruled out.Of all the things that could have been the initial cause of the universe, what allows you to eliminate all other possiblities than an intelligent designer, especially when we have no evidence that a conscious mind can exist without a physical substrate.The beginning of the universe is, by all means, a scientific question, so it should be physicists who tell us how it began, and not apologists with unfounded conjecture.Summary:I have made arguments showing that pro's first premise is invalid, and called into question why pro's first cause must have been an intelligent designer.In order to win this debate, pro will have to:1. Defend the first premise of his argument2. Prove that it must have been an intelligent designer, and not another cause for the beginning of the universe
