If you ignore the reasons for the claim, you could do that. Can I take evolution, and just substitute in other things, to show that the claims are absurd?
If we were simply defining evolution into existence, as you're effectively doing with the God of this first-mover argument, then yes you could. However, since evolution describes demonstrable phenomena to which we simply assign names and descriptions, it wouldn't really work the same way.
Yes.... I am still waiting for my kit, in which I can reproduce common descent evolution (probably should send you an address). However, I think that it really shows a lack of understanding of the premise "everything that begins to exist... has a cause" to think that "begins" can arbitrarily be replaced with "blue". I can understand the case being made, concerning the ontological argument; however, I think it is misguided here.
