Invisible cosmic anklesocks are also an illogical entity. Guess this means that they created the universe. Hand me my Nobel. I can give you your uncaused cause all day long and that still won't make it a god, will it. Unless your entire definiton of god is "uncaused cause", and then your working backwards, your premise has been designed to match your conclusions. Evidence?

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Regardless of the logic or definition of logic, one must start with a valid premise and causality is not a valid premise. A pattern is just that, no more, no less.
A definition of causality is not proof of causality. An example of causality only shows it follows in that explicit example and it does not necessarily follow that it is true in all cases.
As I stated earlier, for causality to exist, there must be infinite regression or an uncaused cause. Infinite regression is not possible and an uncaused cause invalidates causality.
As far as mathematical causality, quantum physics does not define nor mandate causality. Time travel, which violates causality, is allowed through mathematics. ALL things arise from the quantum world. Nothing can happen without quantum interaction.

I just noticed the Big Three didn't vote in this poll.
Curious.
Waldork, Godsdump, and Luny
Jesus' Big Three! His Go-To Guys. His Dream Team. His Honorary Disciples didn't even stand up and vote for him!?!
Why Not?????
I really am curious since these are our most devout supporters of the angry christian god.

Yes.
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
I believe in a god, but likely 90% of those who voted "Yes" would not consider my god to be 'God'.

no. I don't believe in a god or in any kind of higher power. my beliefs are very simple.

Most Atheists consider a god, any type of self aware first cause. 'Button pusher' if you will. Any type of 'intelligent designer'

"god believes in me, and I made him in my own image" should be the standard answer for any theist.

Because you're a simpleton who cannot come to terms with reality?
