First Cause Argument
#4
RE: First Cause Argument
"I don't know" is a good answer when we don't have enough evidence to go on. To try and shoehorn god into this gap is rather deceitful.

The concept of god is one of a thinking complex creature with powerful abilities. the only way to get a creature that could resemble this is with evolution which requires both time and space.
So positing god as the creator of both of these things is just silly.

The argument that is usually put forward to counter this is that god is a being that exists "outside of time" which again is a useless argument as one of the basic things needed to exist is duration.

The OPs argument is also just an argument for a god that creates the universe and buggers off never to be seen again but the biblical god is a micro managing arsehole.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
