Consider a scenario where a fundamental element, denoted as x, exists within a state S(z), where traditional temporal progression may not apply. In this framework, the continuity of states, represented by S(z+dz), becomes imperative to prevent the emergence of phenomena from a state of nonexistence. Hence, even in the absence of conventional time, the principle of causality remains pertinent.

Now, envision the universe being causally isolated from all other forms of existence, perhaps through higher-dimensional constructs. In such a scenario, existence would already statistically manifest within the purported dimension, challenging conventional statistical norms. Similarly, if the universe were causally separated via inflation, the notion of inflation emerging from a state of nothingness would defy fundamental logical principles.

To maintain logical coherence, it is thus postulated that the universe must originate within an existence space where existence is inherent. This proposition aligns with the requirement for logical consistency in cosmological frameworks. It is argued that the most congruent explanation to reconcile observation with logic is through intelligent design. Any alternative proposal would inevitably violate some logical principle. If such a designer were to have emerged through natural means an infinite period ago, the designer's eternal existence would facilitate the creation of the universe in a logically consistent manner, thereby aligning with observational data (the lack of any causal relationship with existence outside of our universe).

The assertion is made that even if other universes operate under different physical laws, they must still adhere to logical principles. Thus, logical coherence serves as a fundamental criterion for evaluating cosmological theories, regardless of their specific manifestations.
