QM is a subset of logic. So just answer this question: Was there a time, when time and energy and it's potential to exist, absolutely-never existed? That's all the justification I need. i.e. it absolutely never existed.
QM is claiming to get existence stuff from all-never-existing-stuff. QM just said, all potential existence never exists at any time.
We have to ask the question... does existence exist... all of the time? If there is any time existence does not exist, then nothing derived from the existence set can ever be. You said you could borrow, a absolute-non-existent .. energy-thing, and an absolutely-non-existent time energy-thing, from an absolute non-existent.
You can't derive existents from absolute-non's at any time. All existents must have partial existents in some way at all times, or their potential existence can never be. If you say it's existence is a total-non-existence, then science itself collapses.
Consider the statement -- Was there any time where the logic that is the basis of scientific truths absolutely never existed?
Either logic is wrong and doesn't exist, or QM is incorrect. Those are the only two options. Next we know QM is not a complete theory, so in fact, there can be parts of it that are incorrect that no one actually understands that is incorrect.
You can't get an existent from an all-non-existent. That is a perfectly consistent statement. If not point out which definition of which word is incorrect, otherwise you are talking out your ass and scientists don't understand the definition of an all-non-existent, which is in fact most likely, since science is based on the thoughts of those fallible human beings. But thats why there's logic.
To claim I am wrong, is to make a claim you know which statement is incorrect AND that you can point it out.
The reason why you felt "your questions were deflected" is because you have no problem with what I have said. I asked you which statements contained errors, and you can't point it out, so you actually can't find any. Amazing huh?
That is how the logic of science works my friend.
