Quote:Thus, existence already exists, and doesn't need to be created.Existence as a concept already existed, but that doesn't mean that the entire set of existing things exists. Existence already existed at the time of the Big Bang, but humans didn't. By your argument, humans already existed 13.7 billion years ago, which is false.
The Judeo-Christian God was the first existing thing, and added to the set of existing things by creating stuff. It isn't a hard concept to grasp, and I'm afraid this mathematical "disproof" fails on all counts.
If existence is eternal, why need a God? Wouldn't things pretty much sprout on their own sooner or later with an infinite amount of time?
Also, who created existence if God is subject to it?
