Are you admitting that there are more than one possible thing in the set of things that did not begin to exist?
I was under the impression, considering the argument you are making, that your god is the only thing that did not begin to exist.
For the purpose of this argument, only one is needed to support the conclusion, then that is all we need consider. Occam's razor.
If only one is needed, then what is the difference between it and the thing that caused the universe to begin to exist?
Besides your god, what else do you believe did not begin to exist?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
