False dilemma?

"Two options are given when in fact there are more".

If something has a beginning (creation event)then it's not eternal is it? What's your problem with that? On the other hand if something is eternal and uncreated (without a beginning) then it must self existent. What other options are there? It should be easy for you to point out at least a couple. You haven't so far but I would be interested to hear them.

Your EDIT(impersonal) explanation of the universe does not sufficiently explain either personality or morality, But again I would be fascinated to hear why you think it does. One word answers aren't very convincing.

I don't claim to understand Quantum physics do you? Just the fact that things can be observed and then not observed does not mean they come into existence out of nothing. Talk about your logical fallacy. That might be a possible inference but it's not a necessary one. If you believe that then watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat. I still maintain that something from (true) nothing is logically and scientifically impossible. I'm all for science but scientists change their theories more than they change their socks. Spontaneous generation is an old and discredited theory but it's seems to be enjoying something of a Renaissance.
