Refute a first cause which most people would call G-d AKA Deism

RE: Refute a first cause which most people would call G-d AKA Deism
You went completely off the rails at 3, for a very simple reason-

You mean all those laws that arose as descriptions of how the universe behaves? Yeah, it would be mystifying as to why they would hold before the interactions they attempt to describe could have occurred. That's why we say "we don't know" or "there's no reason to assume that they hold".

Quote:4. Therefore the universe was created or a better term caused by something which is not composed of space time or matter.

No, there is no therefore - there is only "we don't know". For there to be a -therefore-, there must be something to follow from.

Quote:5. This thing that must be the cause of the universe existence which is not composed of matter or spacetime is commonly called G-d.
At least one person commonly calls me god as well, and?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
