That sounds as illogical to me as the evolutionary development of consciousness and emotion sound to you. If it's possible to imagine a god who causes himself to become, then it's just as possible to imagine a universe that does the same. Easier, even, since the universe would be less complex than a god that could create one.
Agreed; I then concede that part of the debate to you, if I can say god created parts of himself, you can say parts of reality created itself. I have read scriptures that reveal god himself saying that he created parts of himself.
