This is my evidence.
Infinitely many more UN-caused virtual particles come and go every nano-second, but you are ignorant of science, so yeah, your god of the gaps would seem your only out. You said the numbers don't matter, but you're always spouting numbers (trilllions and trillions). Your evidence is not evidence. Some things are caused, some are not. You never told us how Causality was caused if your deity was the initiator of Reality, and the principle of Causality had not been caused yet. Actually your deity is said to "exist". That means it is REQUIRED to *participate* in Reality. Obviously a deity who MUST participate in reality didn't cause it. Reality HAD to be in place already, if your god always existed. Did your god cause itself, and the very reality in which it lives ? Meaningless drivel. Causality requires time. Asserting "creation" before space-time, is meaningless, (without Special Pleading). Is your god "alive" ?
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
