Eternal existence. But I forget, that is not possible except for your god.

In the beginning. The Bible says it. Now prove otherwise.

You're correct. There has to be an uncaused cause. And He is it.

A book of fables don't prove much of anything.

How about we just don't know yet. Why can't that be an answer?

Show me the evidence.

God has provided us the answer. Again, it's logical. Everything has a cause.
You can't have a cause if the universe is infinite.

Science tells us by implication that God could not have come from nothing.

Yes, there had to be a cause, something cannot come from nothing. So you might ask how we came to exist. You've heard of quantum fluctuations, right? You've heard of the quantum level, right?

Well think of this;

a+b=a+b

Nothing mysterious about that equation - it is true. But look at this;

(a+b)-(a+b)=0

So what happened there? There we have something that tuned into nothing! Well, the reverse is true too. That's how something can come from nothing. This is what happens at the quantum level.

Everything? Show us what caused 'God'.

Nothing caused God. He's always existed.
