This doesn't follow though.
God doesn't need an explanation but existence itself must? That's special pleading at its finest.
The way I see it existence itself has always existed, whatever initially existed before the big bang developed into the big bang when time began. No god required. I mean, in a way there are no separate things and everything is one interconnected entity which is existence itself and we make the divisions ourselves when we interpret reality and conceptualize it into separate entities.
It's frustrating when so many theists use the "Something can't come from nothing" argument when if you press them further they basically elaborate with something akin to "Oh except God of course". I agree that something can't come from nothing. Something has always existed but God is completely unnecessary.
So God created the first thing, except himself, which just goes to show he wasn't required, and then he sat back and did nothing for the next 13.8 billion years?
