The Big Bang is evidence for the existence of the supernatural

“For instance, it is a mistake to view everything as needing a cause, for in this case there would be an infinity of causes and even God would need a cause. Only limited, changing, contingent things need causes. Once one arrives at an unlimited, unchanging, necessary being, there is no longer any need for a cause. The finite must be caused, but the infinite being would be uncaused.”
Yeah we've heard that circular bullshit only a million times before. I'd personally love it if apologists were more original by explaining to me why doesn't an omnipresent god respect people's privacy in the bathroom?

Basically, it's safe to say, if god doesn't need a first-cause, then neither does the universe require a first-cause.
