Something From Nothing
I do not rule out something coming from nothing, simply because you or perhaps I cannot demonstrate it. Even though every single thing we encounter in our 3-dimensional lives here on this planet can be traced back to a beginning point, our own anecdotal experiences, though many, cannot, even taken together, force the conclusion that something must also have created God. Please.
You might have a go at that if you can show that God is also a 3-dimensional being and limited to this planet and the finite sphere of our knowledge and experience. Certainly the preponderance of our knowledge and experiences would lead us to suppose such a thing. But, by the same reasoning ants in an ant farm might conclude that the sky is plastic, or that all ground is soft and permeable, or that all life lives underground. True, our ability to define God is finite and limited largely to our own experiences, that does not, however, mean God is finite and likewise limited to our ability to define him.
Does the assertion that God must also have been created, rest purely on your own anecdotal experiences, with 3-dimensional life, on this planet, in it’s most recent few orbits around the star we call the sun? Yes. Yes it does.
Why ask me anyway? If, for instance, I told you that the old lady who lives in the corner house created God, would you believe me? I won’t do it. I’ll not be the excuse you are looking for. I’m not your hall pass.
