I don't believe in the first ever physical thing coming into existence. I thought I've made this clear several times.
But let me list two alternative explanations to God. And let's see how you logically rule them out. Remember, logic, not intuition.
One is the cosmos and everything in it has always been (this is what I personally believe). So no "coming into existence" out of literal nothing.
Another is there is one uncaused mindless cause in the cosmos that caused everything else in existence. Hammy, I believe, adheres to this option (correct me, Hammy, if mistaken).
Ok, so your theory/best guess is that the cosmos and everything in it has always been there. What exactly is "the cosmos"?
(I don't understand hammy's theory, but want to just focus on yours for now)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
