Anguspure, I think we are closing in on the underlying issue. It is an issue ultimately of a self-refuting position. It seems clear to me that we are talking with a person who thinks that we cannot know anything about the cause of spacetime if indeed it comes into being. The words used to indicate this are "undefinable", which have been used several times as rejoinders to what we have written.
Such a position is self-refuting. It is akin to writing, "I cannot write a sentence in English."
If we cannot know how time begins if indeed it does, if such a concept is "undefinable", then we would not know that we could not know how it begins. But clearly the person telling us this wants us to believe that he really does know what he is talking about!
Such discussions really serve to strengthen my own views. To see that God has built into reality things like logic to make His existence undeniable to us is really something that is awe-inspiring and serves only to confirm what the apostle Paul wrote in Romans.
