1. Anything that exists has an explanation of its existence (either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause).
2. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God.
3. The universe exists.

Okay, I'm not being snarky or sarcastic, this is an honest question: are you serious, right now? Do you honestly think that an argument that slips its conclusion into its premises- let alone as bluntly as your formulation has- twice, is a legitimate argument?
I mean, you accused Sam Harris of circular reasoning in another thread, so I know you understand what that is... so surely you're aware of it within your own "argument" above? You're just joking with us by presenting that, right?
