Many naturalistic scientists are trying to escape the inescapable fact that the universe really did begin by proposing speculative theories including imaginary time (cf. Hawking:"Only if we could picture the universe in terms of ''imaginary time'' would there be no singularities...When we go back to the ''Italic text''real time in which we live, however, there will still be ''singularities''")<ref name="Hawking">{{cite book
