Fail!
The question is not whether God Exists or Universe Exist but HOW He Created Himself, that is if it is considered if He Needed to Create Himself in the first place.

Primordial forces created God.....and Anti-God. How can he create himself?!!! Primordial forces are eternal, spaceless, timeless, and immaterially essential. They are the uncreated energy that permeate existence.

A force cannot self exist. A force ALWAYS require a source.
How can a force create God when it cannot self exist.

If you know any kind of force that can survive without a source, you might want to give me an example.

LOL!
I actually don't hate them cause I know that they are demonized. Unfortunately, a baby Christian looks at their argument and think they make sense. I only show them that even without the scripture, by simple LOGIC and elementary DEDUCTIONS, their fallacy is made bare.

Whenever their logic is confounded, they resort to riotous mocking and stupid questions to which they dont even have an answer.

If you know something is true, is there still any need to "believe"?

I mean, I'm sure that to "know" and to "believe" are two separate concepts.

You believe Yahweh exists, but do you know that he exists?

The forces are spaceless and timeless, therefore uncaused. They do not require a source as they are the uncaused source. They are self existent and self sustaining.

The primordial creative forces survive and thrive in their self contained nature independent of a source. They are eternal.

In that same vein, can an ant fathom a human mind? Imagine a human understanding the mind of a “god”.

Even if gods exist, man can’t have a relationship with a god just like an an ant can’t have a relationship with man. Talkless of the potential disparity between man and god being greater than the disparity between ant and man.

There is a difference between knowing and believing.
My statement is still very true.

Then he is a COMPOUND FOOL for believing what he knows is not true!
Believe:
1. to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so:
2. to have confidence or faith in the truth of (a positive assertion, story, etc.); give credence to.
to have confidence in the assertions of (a person).
3. to have a conviction that (a person or thing) is, has been, or will be engaged in a given action or involved in a given situation:
4. to suppose or assume; understand
5. to be persuaded of the truth or existence of:
6. to have faith in the reliability, honesty, benevolence, etc., of:
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/believe
Know:
1. to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty:
2. to have established or fixed in the mind or memory:
3. to be cognizant or aware of:
4.. to have knowledge or clear and certain perception, as of fact or truth.
5. to be cognizant or aware, as of some fact, circumstance, or occurrence; have information, as about something.
6. the fact or state of knowing; knowledge.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/know

Only a fool will believe what he knows is NOT true.


Let me give you an example:
I believe I can solve the mathematics question is not the same as I know I can solve the mathematics question. but BOTH could be true statements

Note:
Believe is based on my inadequacy of comprehension of the SUBJECT
Knowing is based on my adequacy of comprehension of the SUBJECT
Both statements may be a true statement of FACT and is independent of the TRUE NATURE of the Subject


Your Question: You believe Yahweh exists, but do you know that he exists?
I know Yahweh Exists, but I don't have an adequate comprehension of Him so, I have the right to believe based on MY FRAILTIES. In other words, I have enough information and knowledge about GOD to believe.
So, in plain words, "I KNOW Yahweh exists, but I DO not Have all the Knowledge to claim GNOSIS of Him"

Everything that can be described in PHYSICAL Terms could be Completely KNOWN
Anything that cannot be completely described in PHYSICAL terms can not be Completely KNOWN.

A question for you:
Is it possible to believe in SOMETHING without having some form of knowledge of that THING?

In other words, the singularity had always existed.
Is it your Uncaused first cause of the Universe?



You are changing the goalpost. If you claimed the question how did God create himself, are you not insinuating that God (if He exists must be before the big bang) or are you saying God came (if He exists at all) after the big bang?

Physical time didn't exist till after the big bang only because there is no scientific means of going backwards in time before the big bang. But it doesn't mean that time didn't exist before the big bang


Check the logic and trace through it carefully
1. Nothing can come out of nothing
2. But things exist
3. Therefore things have come out of something that had always existed.

The thing that had always existed must be UNCAUSED. This Uncaused thing must be the CAUSE of every other thing. This means this Uncaused "thing" is the First Cause of Everything.

The UNCAUSED FIRST CAUSE is just a neutral definition as the primary logical origin of Everything.



I don't care a hoot about Kalam and his thesis
I don't care about what Deists think

However, LOGICALLY, even if you don't want to ascribe the name "God" to the UNCAUSED FIRST CAUSE, there is no denying that the UNCAUSED FIRST CAUSE exist.

This UNCAUSED FIRST CAUSE, could be either an IT or a BEING!
Since EVERYTHING is actually SOMETHING/a group of things,
"The Theory of Uncaused Causes" is wrong because it's actually impossible for SOMETHING to exist alongside NOTHING!!!!!!!
In other words, SOMETHING can only exist alongside SOMETHING else!!!!!!!
It's impossible for NOTHING to exist because ANYTHING can exist in infinite forms!!!!!!!
Therefore,we can also define ANYTHING as 'SOMETHING always alongside SOMETHING else'!!!!!

I wish you can give an example of a single force that fulfils this characteristic of not having a SOURCE.

Secondly, you have a contradiction: Forces are inanimate, unintelligent and unconscious therefore, they cannot become a living being. If they are, then they are God and could not have created God

We do not share the same knowledge and experience. Its a free world to choose what to believe.

There was a time when an atom was thought of as the smallest indivisible part of an element (now, we know that atoms consist of electrons, neutrons, protons and several sub atomic particles): are you saying that those scientists that used to believe this are FOOLS!?

I am quite sure you didn't read my posts nor the preceding arguments before this your comment as it started with a response to Martian who belive that the origin of everything including God was these "primordial forces"

Martian(m): Quoted Post
In the beginning, the primordial forces formed two maximally powerful entities, God and Anti-God. As the forces churned within these entities, they became mutually attracted to each other and started an eternal cosmic dance. At T=0, God and Anti-God clashed and obliterated each other in a brilliant explosion (expansion) known as the Big Bang.
So, God doesn’t exist because it was in a M.A.D cosmic dance with Anti-God that resulted in creation. That’s why the universe exists.

My argument was that a force CANNOT self exist: it needs a SOURCE which means that, that source will be the Fundamental Creative Entity GOD and not just forces.

Secondly, I dont know why you got the notion that I said or mean that "It is possible for NOTHING to exist!"
Check out my quote in response to Bacteriologist:

shadeyinka:

.....
Check the logic and trace through it carefully
1. Nothing can come out of nothing
2. But things exist
3. Therefore things have come out of something that had always existed.

The thing that had always existed must be UNCAUSED. This Uncaused thing must be the CAUSE of every other thing. This means this Uncaused "thing" is the First Cause of Everything.

The UNCAUSED FIRST CAUSE is just a neutral definition of the Primary Logical Origin of Everything.
....
The fundamental principle was that there was an Uncaused First Cause who is the origin of everything else: Hence it is stupidity to ask for how the Uncaused First cause created himself from nothing.
