Believe through faith/ convinced. Yes. As a timeless being God could exist in a dimension that accommodates that. This is theoretically possible.
As creations of God, the actuality/ potentiality: everything is a subset of him. His essence prescribes our reality. This is also true of a singularity.
Cause and effect go in that order. Absolutely. Laws of physics follow laws of logic, or they are illogic.
Laws are observed of the universe, and corroborate logical laws. My theology promotes thinking, exploration and development of ideas, theories etc.
The more we discover about the universe the better we understand God. You would be mistaken if you thought Christianity's aim was to censor anti God information. That would contradict the theology. The entity doesn't inform our thinking. It's the other way around. Our thinking reveals the entity.
My assumption isn't unfounded. It is logically based. Your lack of assumption is similar. Whatever informs your world view shapes the way you approach thinking. You try to be open minded and so do I. You cherish the thirst for knowledge as do I.
What makes God necessary is his radical overturning of our moral direction. Sans justice, this reality doesn't inspire. With the love element that God provides, life is enhanced.
What your position boils down to is that you can't find meaning, morality, or happiness without inventing a god.
Poor you.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
