So why do you think something can come from nothing? Because god has to exist? That's really circular.

There's a simpler solution. God doesn't exist. All things that don't exist are uncreated by definition. What distinguishes your god from that which doesn't exist?


Oh, and still waiting for you to answer my question. How would you tell whether or not I am a god?

Obviously, you are a god. So I am I.

I challenge the OP to prove that false.

I don't believe something can come from nothing. That which does not exist can't cause anything since it doesn't exist.

You do too believe something can come from nothing, you just call it god. You say "uncreated," which is the same as saying "comes from nothing."

If God exists I wouldn't say He comes from something, for He would have always existed. That which always existed is uncreated so would not come from nothing.

So something can exist forever. What makes you think this thing must be god?

You do realize that you don't know any of this. You DON'T KNOW if something can come from nothing. If something can exist forever. If this something is god. You just believe, and we just don't. That's all there is to it.

If God always existed why wouldn't He continue to always exist?

So if God always existed, He could always exist. And if God exists what evidence would you accept?
