RE: Gaps in theistic arguments. Secular theism vs religious theism

At best the argument shows a thing that is not this universe wasn't the unmoved mover, could be another universe that has a different set of laws of motion than this one.

On a related note, if the universe doesn't exist within itself I don't see how it's laws of motion would apply to itself. These kinds of arguments are probably similar to if I was to argue as follows: if my heart is a muscular organ which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system then my whole body(the whole set of parts) is a muscular organ which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot
