An argument for God

[Kadagar_AV]

1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.

As far as we know? The cause might however still be something so unfathomable out of our limited cognitive ability that we can't even begin to understand it until we evolved more.

Also, how do you know something begun to exist? What MADE that thing exist? And what in turn made THAT thing exist? Maybe it's been there all along, and there has never been anything else.

I can question your basic premise that something begins to exist, as that would mean to make something out of nothing... Which goes against logic reason... Not that I understand why you started to bother with logic reason.... I thought faith was enough for you

2. The universe began to exist.

Why? Maybe Big Bang is an ever ongoing loop, where the universe expands, and then contracts back to a singularity, and then expands again aso aso aso... Every time maybe a little bit different, a little bit more complex.

3. Therefore the universe has a cause.

Therefore the logic chain is broken already here. Well, at point one to be honest.

4. Therefore the existence of the universe necessitates the existence of a self-existent creator who created the universe.*

Nope.

5. Since time, space and all natural laws are properties of the universe, this creator must transcend these properties and any temporal limitations.

Nope. If the universe always existed and is in a loop, the universe is what it is, and is stuck by its own rules (at least until it reforms into a singularity).

6. In relation to the universe, this creator must therefore be timeless, formless, all-present and all-powerful.

Nope. In the scenario I brought up the universe is stuck with time, is all present though, but has no power to interact.

7. Such a figure would therefore be said to be omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and immaterial.

Such a figure would, but there doesn't have to be such a figure.

8. This is the Abrahamic concept of God.

Yes, and you are absolutely free to believe in it, just like others are free not to.
