Lol. I know nothing about these people other than the link in the op. I fail to see how the op relates the the site linked. Be they con artist or not they do not relate
Surely a universe that began a finite time ago, has limitations on every scale and is all connected at a quantum level, even to the generation of the cosmological microwave background radiation (clearly showing the homogenity and isotropy of the universe), is clearly not an open system.

All religions are a lie.
I recently wondered why it is that, seeing how people in general don't trust politicians, corporations, the media etc., why it is that 'scientists' apparently get a free pass from society. It's as though what these "false-prophets?" say is almost always believed. Put a white lab coat on anyone and automatically what they say is near gospel.
Darwinism is an Illuminati Scam
"Gotta love how 'evolution theory' is historically demonstrated to be nothing but failed ancient mythology updated & repackaged with scientific lingo hijacked from Christian pioneers of science (Linnaeus, Ray, Mendel, Cuvier,etc), pushed by Freemasonic/Communist control of centralized gov't, universities, press, media & think-tanks backed by the satanic elite with their world Socialist revolution while 'Atheists' still cling to politically corrupt 'science' or point to imaginary 'evidence'." Source
Philip Collins explains how the Illuminati took control of science and determined our assumptions about the nature of reality. "The ruling class seized control of science and used it as an 'epistemological weapon' against the masses."
In the article 'Toward a New Science of Life,' EIR journalist Jonathan Tennenbaum makes the following the statement concerning Darwinism:
Now, it is easy to show that Darwinism, one of the pillars of modern biology, is nothing but a kind of cult, a cult religion. I am not exaggerating. It has no scientific validity whatsoever. Darwin's so-called theory of evolution is based on absurdly irrational propositions, which did not come from scientific observations, but were artificially introduced from the outside, for political-ideological reasons (Tennenbaum).
"Science" - The Matrix of Masonic Mind Control
With respect to its great contributions to society, I think it is important to make a case that science is really affecting society more like a religion now than a field of study or a resource base of useful information. Many everyday people do not understand it at all and accept ALL its teachings on faith. Unfortunately some scientists and academic professionals are not so noble and have perpetrated deliberate frauds and cover-ups of important discoveries.
Modern Scientific beliefs are based upon a leap of faith in the big bang theory. It has become a belief system based on faith and therefore another form of religion. Scientists, like priests can explain their beliefs but the everyday people accept it all on faith. Scientists and doctors are the priests of this new religion, getting angry and crying "heresy" when anyone respectfully disagrees with them.

The 'time' you are referring to is before time existed, or entropy, or any of the physical laws as we know them existed. So no, it was 'clearly' neither an open system nor a closed system as we would 'ordinarily' experience such a thing.
That said, have you not heard of the discussion about multiverses? In an environment rife with multiverses, a new universe coming into existence is not operating in a closed system anymore than a star formation or a galaxy formation.

"The more one studies paleontology, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone." ~ paleontologist T.L. Moor
...the commonly-accepted "Theory of Evolution" fails the test of being scientific. With the passing years, proponents of this failed theory are behaving more and more like religious dogmatists in their unwillingness to submit the foundations of their theory to open inquiry and discussion. Instead, they heap scorn and ridicule on their critics, insisting that anyone who has the audacity to question the truth of their sacred theory must be either stupid, insane or evil.
At the heart of the problem is the fact that Evolution, disguised as a viable scientific theory, is actually a tool of religious propaganda and cultural domination, used by those who hold to the religion of Naturalism.
When the Evolutionist says that life originated without the intervention of a supernatural Being, he is making a religious assertion, not a scientific one. The fact that he may be a scientist by profession, or that he conducts his science in light of this presuppostion does not change the fact that it is a religious claim. It is no more "scientific" than the Creationist's assertion of an intervening Creator.

“… the general scientific world has been bamboozled into believing that evolution has been proved. Nothing could be further from the truth …” ~ Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld
Modern media often refers to the creation/evolution debate as a conflict between “science and religion.” In fact, there is no science to support evolution. The word science refers to knowledge gained through observation. A scientist (through experimentation) observes events as they happen, and then chronicles the details of those events.
The evolutionist has faith that these things happened, but he has not seen them and neither does he have any way of proving them. Therefore, the Evolution vs. Creation debate is not a matter of science vs. religion – but rather, religion vs. religion.
DARWIN DEBUNKED
Science has so thoroughly discredited Darwinian evolution that it should be discarded. ~ Australian biologist Michael Denton
"`Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact.' A tangled mishmash of guessing games and figure juggling. ~ T.N. Tahmisian, physiologist for the Atomic Energy Commission
Evolution is positively anti-science. Science deals with things that are testable, observable, and demonstrable and evolution has none of those qualities. To call evolution "science" is to confuse fairy tales with facts. True, evolution has been mixed with science for the last thirty years, but that does not mean that it is the same as science.
Beer is often advertised during sporting events but the two subjects have no logical connection, and evolution has no more to do with science than beer has to do with sports.

"We all know that RationalWiki is a liberal propaganda site..." Link
"a horrible piece of establishment propaganda... littered with false statements and ad hominem. I imagine that the whole of the wiki is a collection of gatekeepers for consensus science and PTB doctrine...." www.fmotl.com...
"...anyone can anonymously write whatever they want (but correction of the tripe written will be considered “vandalism”!) RationalWiki is one of those sites. RationalWiki is a project of Trent Toulouse, who has the stated objective of “exposing conspiracy theories”. He once implied that he considers a conspiracy theory everything that disagrees with mainstream dogma, making RationalWiki a platform for anyone with an agenda to attack researchers struggling to bring important facts to public attention." owndoc.com...
"RationalWiki is now just another outlet for #FTBullies ideology... they are totally baboon property. Monkeys dancing for the organ grinder... the "talk" pages for their hatchet job/character assassination wiki entries show how utterly corrupt it is..." twitter.com...
"Their alternative weapon is called "rational wiki" (an oxymoron) and it is allegedly ran by a student named Toulouse, from Hamilton, Canada. He is as real as that shady guy who runs wikipedia.org, with an added character feature of inferiority complex. Of course, it is possible that he too does not exist (a made-up character), or that he has been co-opted by intelligence services, as they do draft students.
RationalWiki is a genetic-egalitarian race-denialist propaganda website that is run by Ontario resident Trent Toulouse. RationalWiki is a wiki founded by secular humanists in response to Conservapedia. They regard Richard Dawkins as their messiah. It is based on MediaWiki, like Metapedia. The wiki has around 4200 English pages middle of May 2010. The information is inaccurate and sparse. The wiki begs for donations. The site is extremely anti-Christian and anti-Conservative and promotes sodomy and gun restriction.
The website fraudulently portrays itself as being “rational”, and opposed to “pseudoscience”, yet promotes exactly the thing that they claim to oppose: the irrational spiritual pseudosciences of genetic egalitarianism and race denialism. On top of such deceptiveness, Trent Toulouse solicits donations (on the website’s main page) under these false pretenses. That fits within the definition of criminal fraud." A note on "Rational Wiki"
"Some of the most untrue bunch of lies that could ever be written in the entire world were written by RationalWiki. They claim that they are the truth and the holy appointed protectors of science and their subjects. They do not tell the truth. RationalWiki is the biggest con job on the internet. It is the National Enquirer of skeptical thought.
They are like Stormfront for intellectual people that pimp a platform of hate and scorn for those that they hate, no matter how wrong and biased that they are and kudos for those that they DO like. RationalWiki is the most biased thing out there on the internet today. They are NOT rational or intelligent. RationalWiki is a fraud factory. It is a quack’s encyclopedia. They are pseudo-intellectual quackery at its finest. RationalWiki is a joke!" Source
Take, for example, the RationalWiki article on pseudoscience. One merely has to lightly read through it to see some of the most arrogant statements that can be made. ...there is no excuse for passing this kind of blithely arrogant and shallow material off as anything other than trash, and that’s not even dealing with the factual inaccuracies.
The entire site is plagued by trash (the only suitable term) of this nature. I have no doubts that RationalWiki is just a front for Left-Wing Progressivism (a type of Socialism, basically), based on the style of the writing and the methods of argumentation used.
RationalWiki is a Front for Socialist Indoctrination
I was not referring to the time before the universe. I was referring to this universe, that does now exist.
The Big Bang Singularity means that at one stage, everything in this universe touched everything else in the universe and beyond the outer boundary of the universe, there was nothing else affecting it. No matter was separate and it all existed within a boundary. That is the definition of a closed system.
Similarly, other calved universes in a multiverse are all individual closed systems too. There is no communication between such universes.
Not to mention that there is nothing in physics that explains the process of creation of multiple universe mass objects, or that defines how and when such bifurcations should occur.
So, this universe, which by definition contains itself, is bounded. It is a closed system.

No. All definitions break down at the so-called "Big Bang Singularity". ALL definitions. At that time there is no 'this universe, that does now exist'. There is no time. There is no boundary. There is no system. I know this is difficult to comprehend, but there is NOTHING that has anything to do with our experience of the universe. There is not only no-thing, there is also nothing period.
You have no evidence to support this assertion. For all you know black-hole/white-hole pairs may serve as conduits for energy/information between universes. The idea is certainly no more outlandish that anything else in quantum physics/mathematics/cosmology.
Similarly, other calved universes in a multiverse are all individual closed systems too. There is no communication between such universes.
If there is a multiverse system, perhaps a better term would be hyper-verse meaning a universe of universes. Universes would then communicate in an analogous way to galactic clusters, etc. Again, not outlandish.
There is nothing in physics that YET explains the process, perhaps. More importantly, there is nothing that denies it either, and yet there is a great deal of mathematics that supports it. But yes, it is hypothesis, not thesis.
Not to mention that there is nothing in physics that explains the process of creation of multiple universe mass objects, or that defines how and when such bifurcations should occur.
The solar system, which by definition contains itself, is bounded. And yet, it is an open system. The solar system boundary is set by convention and by definition in exactly the same way you are attempting to define the boundary of the universe in a conventional manner. Your definition, while useful in certain limited ways, has no theoretical basis in physics or mathematics.
So, this universe, which by definition contains itself, is bounded. It is a closed system.
Why not holistic super-mega-hyper-omni-multiverses because "everything is connected".
Sadly, such is not science.

Look, I agree that the universe, even if it isn't 'actually' closed, may as well be considered closed in order to answer questions about it. We do that all the time with systems we know for a fact are not closed.
All I'm saying is that there is no actual evidence that what we define as the universe is in fact closed and there is mathematics that suggest that it is not. That mathematics result may be in error, I don't know for sure. But neither do you.
You can quote the dictionary definition all you want, but the dictionary definition may be insufficient to describe reality, because the dictionary editors don't know either.
But again, in order to answer questions that affect us we may as well consider the universe a closed system. I think I pretty much said that same thing when someone asked, in a different thread, whether there was more than one Big Bang - I answered 'not in this universe, no'. In other words we are living in the universe we are living in, and any hypothetical communication with any hypothetical outside universes has no bearing on anything we do in this universe.
Physicists may care, and we might be interested in the results, but it ain't gonna affect us one way or the other. Physicists make models for a living - its just what they do. Remember always that the map is not the territory. A model is a proposed explanation for how something works, not the be-all and end-all. An hypothesis is a model that attempts to describe some observation about nature. If it works it works and if it doesn't they keep trying. Relativity is a model, evolution is a model, gravitation is a model, germ theory is a model. These have all been tested and demonstrated to give answers consistent with observations of reality over and over and over and over. But no model is ever perfect, new observations have to be accounted for. Relativity doesn't have answers for a large class of observations, so we have another model that addresses those classes (Quantum theory(. At some point we would like to have one model, a Theory of Everything, that ties them together but we ain't there yet. Einstein spent the last years of his life working on just that problem - and a heck of a lot of people are working on it.
In the case of the Big Bang and what 'preceded' it, discussion is 100% mathematics and philosophy. Talking about 'before' the Big Bang is nonsense you know? Before the Big Bang there is no time so 'before' and 'precede' have no meaning. You get tied in philosophical knots before you even get started (pun intended).

most of the work of today's supposed evolutionary scientific research was done off the backs of these fakes.
If you start with a false premise you will have bad science built on top of that and that includes evolutionary science.
