"I have, but thanks for at least acknowledging that the Universe does indeed has a cause. You are suggesting that this argument for God’s existence only pushes the question of beginnings one step farther back. However unless you want to argue for an infinite regression you have to land somewhere. Logically the Universe MUST have a first cause."

You need to read and think before you talk. I said nothing about the universe having a cause. How could I know? What I pointed out was the flaw in the argument you cut n' pasted. You went from

"3) Therefore, the Universe Must Have a Cause
(Inferred from the Principal of Causality)

TO

(4) The First Cause Must Be Eternal and Uncaused
(Declared by definition)"

There is no connection between those two statements. And all the second one says is IF there is a first cause then it must be a first cause...DUH! Defining a pink unicorn as a unicorn the color pink does not spirit it into existence! Try to think before you post.
