Here it goes.

With that being said, I would be more than curious to see if anyone could spot a noticeable error in Hatcher's logical deduction
sigh... the whole thing can be boiled down to
P1: everything that exists has a cause
P2: The universe exist
P3: the universe has a cause (in accordance with P1 and P2)
C1: the cause is god
P4: God exists
C2: therefore god has a cause (in accordance with above premises)
C3: the cause of the universe doesn't need a cause (no good reason is given to why that is the case) (fallacy of special pleading )
now if the god/original cause doesn't need anything to cause it into existence then why does the universe need a cause? this all amounts to a mundane statement of the obvious that not everything needs a cause.
