Sisko would’ve punched Madred the same way he punched Q, the closest thing Star Trek has to an actual god.

I’m saying Q is the god-alike, not the Prophets / SIsko.

Q could fingersnap the Prophets out of existence. While powerful, and indeed nonlinear (which Q is as well), their influence is more or less strictly limited to the Celestial Temple.

Ah but they’re non-temporal. If Q ever did that, they wouldn’t be present when we see them in ds9, therefore Q does not and can not!

“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…stuff.”

Infinity stones have no power at the TVA.

The wormhole / Celestial Temple seems to be extradimensional in some way. They might actually be out of Q’s reach. Or they might not. Q’s powers are vaguely defined.

If Q were non-linear, then the Big Bang would not make such a great hiding spot from the other Q. He can travel through time, but he is not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent. He stands no chance against non-linear beings. The Prophets could stop the Q from ever existing in the first place.

I feel like big events like the big bang are not a good place to hide because there are likely other people who go there a lot. It’s like in the Dr Who episode where someone is hiding at the end of time. Like, how is that a good hiding place? No one ever got curious and decided to go check it out?
