Dear everyone, thanks for your participation in this thread.
I can’t react to all of you, so I choose to react to those who take up my posts; and also when I find someone with a most intriguing idea like that of Spidergoat with his statement of an example of a thing with a beginning but no cause, namely, virtual particles popping in and out from nothing without cause, then I love to exchange ideas with him, for I am of the opposite view, namely, there is nothing with a beginning that is without a cause.
But Spidergoat has not taken up his idea again on virtual particles, at least he has not attended to that idea anymore; and my post to him last time is an invitation for him and me to resume the matter of virtual particles popping in and out from nothing without cause.
Then there is Motor Daddy who wants to talk about distance which to him is distinct from space, and also infinity; but when I asked him to produce his concepts of distance and of infinity, he chose to keep mum in his recent post to me on that matter; instead he complained that I do not observe the 'right' way to reproduce a quote -- end result with him is that he said he would not interact with me anymore. So be it.
Today I see three posters who take to react to my ideas.
In the status of things in which there is only one thing or entity in it, then the something always existing is God.
Now in the status of things in which status the universe exists, studied by scientists and concluded on by scientists to have a beginning in space and in time; then the status of things houses two parts: the part that always exists, God in concept the creator and operator of the universe, and the universe the creation of God.
In sum, you deny that there is causation or causality; suppose you tell readers here who brought you to this world?
I hope to read your posts reacting to my present posts to you three.

I have this idea that man can start with a statement like the following:
There has always existed something.
And think on facts and logic to come to the existence of God in concept the creator and operator of the universe and everything with a beginning.
What facts? Facts like the nose in our face, it has a beginning.
And what logic? Logic like this thought, everything with a beginning has a cause.
And that is why I want to ask how Spidergoat explains his example of something with a beginning but no cause, namely, virtual particles which pop in and out from nothing without cause. […]
If something always existed, there is no need for gods to explain it.

Pachomius, the problem is that you are trying to prove that there is a God and that this God is as you define God and you insist on basing it on whether our concept of cause and effect applies.
Who knows? Maybe everything needs a cause (but it doesn't need to be a god) and maybe it doesn't. We don't know and neither do you.

That is not logic; that is (as currently worded) merely a claim. It may act as premise for a logical argument, however. But in isolation it is not an example of logic.
Okay, you give me an example of logic, if everything with a beginning has need of a cause is not an example of logic.Pachomius said:
