No, you are describing a being that must exist(in your opinion) for your prior faith in a certain god to be true.
You still need to show that the same god exists before you can attach definitions to it.

Okay, do you believe that everything material must have a creator ? , if so why
Quote:God isn't a created being, so your question doesn't make any sense.
Neither do you, you need to prove a god exists first.
That you need your god to have made up qualities to fit your prior belief is completely beside the point.
Quote:That's not true. I referred to the contemporary scientific consensus that the universe is past-finite.
I suspect most people would agree with that, but how do you get from that to creation from none being ?
Quote:I have no idea how it works, but I don't see any good reason to believe that it cannot or doesn't happen.
Sure, it's called faith., but what reason do you have that it did indeed happen ?
