I disagree. I think it is exceedingly simple to grasp nothingness for it is simply non-existence, no particles, nothing.

You can say there are no square circles because they don't exist just as non-existence is nothingness.

Exactly. That's why we don't speculate about aliens. They're not exactly relevant until there is proof. For all I know the big bang was just an alien's fart.

For now you need to accept nothing. Like I said nothing is that important. Nothing is eternal. Nothing can explain everything.

But if there was this alleged eternity of the past of cause and effects, you would have had an eternity to come into being before now, so you should have already happened. Therefore, nature needs a cause outside of itself, outside of time and space, being uncreated by the uncreated Creator.

Okay, I give up. You're being a moron. I can't think of another way to rephrase my incredibly simple contention, only to be met with you just repeating the same claim that I obviously disagree with, by now.

Since you admit nature is not eternal then it must have a cause outside itself, outside of time and space, being uncreated by the uncreated Creator.

It comes from your post #82
Something from nothing and infinite regress are impossible so the uncreated Creator did it.

Just because I know God did it doesn't mean I know everything.

Where's your evidence. Until then you have Nothing to go off of.

I am not special pleading. I am just giving you the definition I put to what God is -- uncreated Creator.

So that's how we created God, by definition. But then He wasn't uncreated, was He?
