God is uncaused, uncreated. If we were symbolically in a line with the 100 greatest philosophers, theologians, scientists moving forward to understand how God doesn't require a beginning, we would soon encounter a hedge that would stop everyone. Looking down the line, no one had advanced even a smidgen further than anyone else. What we do know is there isn't a God of the 2'nd power, 3'rd, in perpetuity.
Atheist Credo: An universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
