However, you observe that the creator would need to be at least as complex as his creation, but then conclude that your creator does not need to have been created, despite complexity.
I haven't even mentioned complexity whatsoever, so how can you know this about me?
I am stating a FACT, that my belief in the bible preceded my knowledge of the argument of causes. This means, through deductive logic, a rational person can conclude that I could not propose God's eternal nature posteriori, as that knowledge came through reading the bible texts, which are recorded information, and count as evidence and was recorded in my brain apriori.
As for my apology, I present this as an opportunity for you to calm down as I am not here to increase your blood pressure. I personally do not mind if you are hostile, because as you can see, my posts number in the thousands so I am well used to hostile behaviour. Though I do find that coherency is unfortunately lost if it is prevailent.
Also, it is my preference to debate in a completely rational manner. I enjoy Modulous's posts, and Parasomnium's because they have 0% epithets. I suggest you read some posts from those clever chaps, if you want me to apreciate your posts as coherent. Right now they're coming off as highly argumentative and irrational bordering on hysterical.
Reading a book does not justify an insistence that the Universe requires a creator due to its complexity, and the creator does not despite being even more complex.
You have it backwards. I read the bible which told me of an eternal creator, I then come across a silly argument that insists he must have a cause. My answer is simple - he doesn't have to have a cause.
Incase you forget steady state, it was quite acceptable for the universe to have been infinite. Now the Big Bang is more prominent, that theory is not regarded as credible.
Your problem is that I can't ask the question; 'who caused my God?'
AND remain a biblical Christian. So it is ludicrous to state that I have a double standard. I merely have someone requiring that I become an atheist, and suffer the same illness of self-righteousness, by proclaiming that my God must be caused.
Why on earth would I do that?
I suggest we abandon this debate as it is heading nowhere.
