FFS, Klorophyll, do you really think you've proved the existence of not only God, but a benevolent one at that?
Here is a hypothesis:
1) There was a time when there was nothing.
2) At some time the first thing that wasn't nothing came into existence.
Now, how would I go about determining this? I'm not even sure the hypothesis makes sense. Is true nothingness even a logical possibility? What is "time" when there is nothing? How long does "nothingness" last before there is something? Is it infinite, or does nothingness need to get created from "super-duper nothingness" at a finite time? If it requires a God, to create something from nothing, then what created the God? Oh, it was "outside time", or "eternal"? If a god can be eternal, so can a universe. If a cause can be outside time and space, then we might as well throw up our hands and admit that our ideas of causality make no sense, and invoking a deity doesn't solve anything.
