If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
The Earth spinning around its axis takes a certain amount of time that is fairly constant.
Even if the Earth didn't do that, it wouldn't negate the existence of that span of time.
It takes a quantum- or metaphysicist to disagree with the constancy of time, and that wouldn't even be in this thread's interests.
The constancy of time, you see, is irrelevant when trying to determine a process that is much simpler and less bizarre.
In the event that we actually do have to take a look at the cause of, say, the Big Bang, for whatever reason, such as...
Did God do it? Or did Brahma do it?
Or was it some other deity that we have not yet had the imagination to specify? Like a sufficiently advanced alien from a "mother-universe"?
Would there be any point in worshipping a deity whose identity we don't (and can't) even know?
How could we know who it was? The Bible, or any other story of creation, is not a very credible source of information, not more so than our own eyes.
We only believe stories like that because those stories keep telling us they're right. And because we lack better proof.
But that which can be accepted without proof, can just as well be rejected without proof. Like a ceramic teapot between Mars and Earth.
"Two cents", as everyone else seems to be saying.
