Well there is only ONE God so your post is illogical. The MUST only be one God to address the chicken/egg circularity. God always has been and always will be and science dictates that there could only be ONE.

Prove it.

God does nothing but extend your circular argument. How did God come into being?

You did not read my post. God always has been. Nothing was before him. Logic and science dictate this conclusion. Any other conclusion is chaos and illogic.

It is more parsimonious to conclude simply that the universe has always existed. There is no need of your theory. Of course I read and understand you posts. You just posted that nothing was before god. You are saying god spontaniously generated from nothing. Not logical.

Same with your universe. Yet the universe has design. So if something always has existed that causes design then sentience is a prerequisite for its existence. The universe is not sentient.

I believe in all of them. Especially Modi. He can get Moody if you don't... Unfortunately, since i'm only one man, my belief reserves are finite. If you divide a finite resource over an infinite amount of potential gods, you will get a zero belief to god ratio - you don't believe in any one of them in particular. Hence i'm agnostic atheist.

How do you know? Spinoza calls the universe the body of god...an infinite and very physical body to match his infinite mind

Your logic is impeccable, Sir!
