What Was Before ' the Beginning '....?

[Sword of Christ]

Because:

a/ He isn't.

You know this because?

b/ Why would he have to be eternal - he could be part of a society that has its own Gods - ad infinitum. In fact he could be a Janitor in his universe.

If he isn't the eternal creator of existence he isn't God.

c/ It doesn't help. If we were to accept it without definitive proof then we abandon scientific principle and may as well start allocating anything we don't know to magic.

The creation of the universe wouldn't just happen there be some kind of process or mechanism involved. One that's beyond our understanding or ability observe perhaps. Anything that is real that happens but is beyond our ability to understand could be seen as a magic.

d/ A lack of evidence.

The perfect natural balance of a universe that allowed the creation of supreme forms of complexity to develop should at least be a clue for you. And we know there actually was a point of creation you would think we would drawing nearer to God by now given what science has shown us.

Of course then there are all the deist god / theist god / which one(s) arguments which move us even further from the truth - i.e. non of the above.

God is God there is only one and all religions based on God are based on God. There are some strong disagreements about some of the details and I'm not saying they're going to be all equally as true. A deistic God may as well be a non-existent God but it's a step in the right direction.
