And I don't deny your law of cause and effect, I never even really heard of it described as such, sounds like a religious thing, not a scientific thing...
In Philosophy and Philosophy of Science courses the meaning and basis of
Metaphysical concepts in the Sciences and History and elsewhere is discussed. It's all part of the studies in Philosophy and Logic. The statement I made is a logical statement describing the linkage between the 'cause-and-effect' principle and science.
One of our cardinal rules on BITOG is we don't discuss R,P, or S.
Models and simulations are fun to execute, but the logical conclusion is the history of the universe cannot be determined from a model which cannot be
independently tested. Fudge factors are sprinkled throughout the present model to describe the observations, so that should tell you something about the actual, present veracity of the BB model.
Well I'm just taking the word of Astrophysicists, they seem to be in agreement.
Again, you either follow the scientific method or you do not. Not every Astrophysicist agrees that Cosmology is a real science and there are more than Gunn and the following who makes these similar criticisms.
Prof. Richard Lieu, Department Chair, Astrophysics, University of Alabama, also wrote:
“
Cosmology is not even astrophysics: all the principal assumptions in this field are unverified (or unverifiable) in the laboratory … .” He then explains the basis for his statement:. "“because the Universe offers no control experiment, …”
Lieu, R.,
ΛCDM cosmology: how much suppression of credible evidence, and does the model really lead its competitors, using all evidence? 17 May 2007; arxiv.org/pdf/0705.2462v1.pdf

As to what Bell's Theorem really means, that is more of a philosophy debate also, not clear that it's really deterministic, just depends on the interpretation you follow. And isn't quantum superposition also somewhat random?
Then I suggest that you need to review Chapters 10 and 21 of:
Duarte, F.J., Fundamentals of Quantum Entanglement, IOP Books, because Duarte disagrees with you.
I highly suggest you start a new, separate thread if you want to further discuss Quantum Mechanics and or Cosmology/Astrophysics because every time a similar thread, such as the present one is begun, you start 'hurling elephants.'
Elephant Hurling:
This is where someone throws summary arguments about complex issues to give the impression of weighty evidence, but with an unstated presumption that a large complex of underlying ideas is true, and failing to consider opposing data, usually because they have uncritically accepted the arguments from their own side.
