There is not sound proof of A due in part to the fact there is not sound proof of B.
Just so we're clear, A in this case is the existence of a necessary being and B is the necessity for existence.
Without B, A is meaningless... abit like every statement you've made in response.
Retort with something relevant that proves this wrong or don't retort at all.
You're beginning to bore me with your thinly veiled deflections.
