The beginning of existence period apparently has always been here because God has always been here. The problem with making this argument is it actually makes the idea of matter always existing seem even more valid. If God always existed without beginning, always had his qualities inherent to his nature, etc then why is he the only thing that could do that?"

A passing appraisal of the trouble with the argument in and of itself. Of course the trouble with this argument as it applies to the world outside of the argument, is that it is completely and woefully lacking any evidence. What can be imagined, what can be argued, and what is are not always the same thing. Similarly, cause and god are not synonymous, except insomuch as some would argue that they are, without being able to contain themselves to that definition after having tried to weasel it in.

This is not my quote. I'm considering reporting you.

It is definitely what you said.
