(December 2, 2012 at 9:39 pm)Undeceived Wrote: 3. A personal, eternal, causeless being created the universe. He/she did not "come into existence", but always was. Here's the argument in summary: Infinite regress can only be avoided when the first efficient cause is eternal. But being eternal means having no change, and change is required to start a universe. That leaves us with only one solution: the eternal causal agent is a personal entity who can choose to make change in spite of his/her own changeless nature.

"A personal eternal causeless BEING" you post that as though its a resonable answer. Well it isn't.
It has the same problem of 'where did it come from' that you have just chosen to ignore and pretend the problem is solved.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
