Introducing The Universal Religion

[Sword of Christ]

Causation is a concept which only has meaning inside a Universe with a timelike dimension and and lower than maximal entropy. Your sentence concerning "causing time" is meaningless.

The universe didn't exist eternally in itself if it had a beginning therefore something else beyond the universe did exist eternally and was the cause of the existence of the universe. You this something you can just logically figure out there's no faith involved at this stage.

You define God as the "sphere.....", but provide neither an argument why such a thing is necessary, and if we assume it is, why it is anything Godlike at all (a very unlikely proposition) in your favourite sense.

Not a literal sphere it's a figure of speech. But you can think of the universe as the playing pitch and a game of football is taking place on the pitch. We know that the pitch didn't always exist therefore the pitch was made by something else and it was made by someone with the intention of a game football being played on the pitch. If you knew nothing about what was outside the pitch you could at least figure that much out on your own without having to be told.

SoC is the new King of Unsubstantiated Claims.

I am substantiating the claims by explaining God necessary existence using facts and logic. We can't even possibly ever substantiate the existence of God via the scientific method given the nature of what God would be, but we can still figure this out even without any special revelation.

Enough of the goddamn preaching. Repeating 'God exists' 800 different ways doesn't make the proposition any more tenable, it just makes you tedious.

I'm not preaching/repeating God exists I'm explaining the necessity for Gods existence here.

The sphere bit was cute, and perhaps too specific for your gambit. Why can't God be a pyramid, a cube or even an oblate spheroid?

Everything needs to take place within a certain sphere of activity but the sphere of activity for everything will have to be eternal because nothing else would have existed to do anything at all in the first place, from nothing nothing comes.
