Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kaufman argues that even if the Milky Way existed earlier, it does not deprive us of time alive in our current world. Therefore, he challenges Timmerman's Big Bang Argument by denying the premise that an earlier existing Milky Way would necessarily lead to a different outcome in terms of our own existence. Option A is incorrect as Kaufman does not deny the existence of the Milky Way. Option C is also incorrect because Kaufman does not claim that the Big Bang argument is too speculative to support Timmerman's conclusion. Finally, option D is incorrect because Kaufman does not specifically argue that a possible world with an earlier Milky Way would be vastly different, but rather he argues that it does not affect our current worldview.
