Tex Wrote:God causes things to exist... so since they're still existing... I'm going to assuming he's still working.

I have 3 objections:

1. Have you ever witnessed something "being caused to exist"? If no, then it is a baseless assumption to say such a thing can happen.

2. God causing "some-thing" to exist implies it already existed some-where. Therefore, God didn't cause it to exist. He merely took x and performed y in order to get z i.e. he altered substance that was already there.

3. Your statement is a non-sequitur. It doesn't follow that because "[things are] still existing...[God] is still working". A counter example would be the belief, of which the name I've forgotten, that states that God died in the process of creating the universe.
