Sure. It is a very valid argument. So it's absurd to believe that "something came from nothing" (not that any atheist I know believes that), but it's perfectly logical to postulate a timeless, eternal, transcendent being? I think you miss entire point of the question "Who created God? It's a rhetorical question, intended to rebut the "first cause" argument for God. If God is an "uncaused cause," then uncaused existence is possible. Then why can't the universe itself be uncaused? There's no reason to add the additional step of postulating a God. Moreover, even if we accept the existence of a first cause outside the temporal universe, you haven't begun to show that it is the "God of the Bible," you simply asserted it.



If it werent the God of the bible we would have been worshipping something else. The God of the bible is the creator of the universe Heaven and earth Gen1 so we serve the God that created the universe

My ans

You have NOT seen everything in the universe, You have not seen the beginning of anything in space so on what basis did you come to the conclusion that everything that has a beginning has a cause? Tell me have you ever seen the beginning of the universe? How then do you know that it has a cause?



IF THEY CAN'T SEE THE SUN, THEY CAN FEEL ITS HEAT. there's a funny thing about the blind or those who close their eyes to keep from seeing the sun: even though they cannot see it, yet when it shines in its full strength, the heat it radiates can nevertheless be felt. So it is indeed true that atheism is rightly defined as a denial of God in the midst of knowledge of His existence.

genocides and mass murders were supported and tacitly backed the merciful God ( stark contradiction ). killings committed in the name of war are not different from murders. no killing is justified.

Bongo_man: This is one question i keep asking myself and men of God but the answers i get aren't contending enough to stop my quest to know. The answers are most times one-sided. this is it ''Is the military killings in war Justified'' I know the Ten Commandments say, "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13, KJV). But the Bible also has stories about battles where lots of people were killed. Will God look down on people(army) who have killed someone(army) defending their Country?

what do you expect of Adam's descendants when Adam fell to sin?
