It always amuses me when critics claim that even God had to have an origin... yet these same critics won't say the same thing about math!
But how often does that happen, really ? You quote quite a bit of discussion, I’m sure the subject has come up here - but I don’t remember anyone explicitly refusing to say so without good reason. Don’t you really mean that the subject is rarely discussed because it is of less interest ?
(Although I will note that since mathematics is abstract while God is supposedly concrete there is a major difference which may be relevant in some philosophical systems.)
