I notice that you are trying to rebut a conclusion without rebutting the inference or the axioms.
Do you have a problem with the axioms or the inference?
Yes I do, with the last three bolded above. Equating self-causal with self-deterministic with consciousness is anthropomorphizing.
You are arguing for a metaphor, not for the very real existence of conscious and willful God.
Energy may have God-like powers, but that doesn't make it God if it's missing essential attributes.
