What is wrong with this premise?

[Heywood]

Then what created the reality we experience? After all it must have a cause right? If everything in reality has a cause, what caused god?

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.

I don't believe reality had a creator but rather that God is "consequence" of this kind of reality. "Consequence" doesn't really convey what I mean though. I will try to convey what I mean by analogy. The fact that light emanating from a bulb spreads out according to an inverse square law is a "consequence" of the fact our space has 3 spatial dimensions. It doesn't spread out according to an inverse square law by any action of three dimensional space. It spreads out according to an inverse square law because there are three spatial dimensions and when there are three spatial dimensions, it simply has to spread out that way.

I make a some assumptions about reality.

1. reality is eternal.
2. reality is and always has been emergent complex.
3. there are no bounds to emergent complexity

I believe that God is a "consequence" of an eternal emergent complex reality.
