Dear Mr.wizard
this is the line of thinking that leads to the conclusion God must be infinite.
for if reality has a creator, and you call that starting point God,
and if there is something that created that, then that becomes the starting point God,
etc. etc. etc. So this goes on to infinity.
this is consistent with the viewpoint that God/creation has no beginning
or no end, and has always been self-existent eternally.
Uh, ya that's exactly the point I was driving home and trying to get him to recognize the hole in his argument. I think you may have directed your post at the wrong person, being that I am an atheist and do not believe in any creator, infinite or not.
