Atheist Evangelism

[Mister Agenda]

Nothingness seems to be a state of affairs that is necessarily brief. How long can it last, without time? And then there are virtual particles popping into existence all of the time, literally out of nothing.

Has your idea of God been around for eternity, or just since the beginning of time?

Virtual particles are an 'effect'.  Ref: Universal causation

Not even you believe in Universal Causation, you believe in that one Big Exception to it, don't you? It's just a fancy way of asserting 'yes it does too have a cause' if we find something that apparently does not have a cause. It was a fine axiom until we found it doesn't hold up at the quantum scale.
