Do you really think a bunch of woo, logical fallacies, circular reasoning, and other crap we've heard a million times is going to make us see it your way?
Of course not, I even said so at the beginning of my involvement in this thread.
Though you are wrong that I can't explain my God; I can and have done so perfectly in this very thread. If you're unwilling to accept the argument I've presented, then that is fine...doesn't mean you are right, nor have any of you even offered an alternative theory explaining the origin of matter. All expected, of course.
So... you didn't say this?

If you can't say that, you don't have an explanation when you say god; it's roughly akin to being asked how hot dogs are made, and answering with "meat." Even if you're correct, you've done nothing to advance the knowledge that the questioner actually wanted when they asked you.
Well, at least it's a new question. The answer is, how the hell should I know? You're asking me to explain the unexplainable. If I knew how to create something from nothing, I'd be a god myself.
Why must you have answers to everything? Why must everything be explained, categorized, analyzed and interpreted?
Why do you want so badly for there not to be a God? That is the most important question.
Also, nice strawman there. Who said they want for there not to be a god?
