Chad, please stop with the bullshit. You know very well that there is a one line refutation of Aquinas that no theist can overcome. It goes "and what created god?"
A better question is what keeps generating God. I think God keeps generating himself because he is absolute life, absolutely powerful.
Do quarks keep generating themselves? Or whatever the smallest unit of existence is per the naturalism perspective?
Does time create itself and generate itself?
There is somethings so clear once we just stop the noise of the dark enemy of humanity and listen to the infinite bytes of information of God we been given in a circle of being in our existence, that all point to God as the source and origin.
In propositional logic, it's taught every proposition is either true or false. But we see Atheists here can't even acknowledge that with praise statements or moral statements, which just shows how far they went off the track of reason. Everything, If something is x, there is an opposite y. If is something is a, there is an opposite b. Everything is paired up. The universe then functions on these true or false, this or that, reality. Nothing is neither true or false.
We are true, it's just our perception ourselves is false, because it's only partially true. If you get to know your true self, things open up, and become clear.
Anyways, as much as a person like me can talk about these things, the best one able to clarity the truth, explain his design and advice us is God. He can remind in the proper way, in the proper way to awaken and reflect. Not too over assertive, neither the opposite, but balanced in approach, where he states things clearly but allows room for us to reflect and come to realizations on our own.
God is independent, because he is One. He is ultimate. He is the basis of everything that comes to existence. All on and off switches, true or false, in our minds, are generate from his truth, his light.
