Notes from my daily Quiet Times with God

Who made God?

The beginner must be outside the space-time universe
Science is a search of causes
The Law of Causality does not say that everything needs a cause -> Everything that comes to be needs a cause

No one made God, he is unmade
Can not be both ways - either God or the universe is external
Although it is logically that the universe is eternal, it does not seem actually possible based off the evidence from above

The first cause must:

• Be outside of time, space, matter
• Unimaginably powerful to create the entire universe
• Supremely intelligent to design with such greater precision
• Personal in order to choose to convert a state of nothingness into a space-time-space environment

Two choices:

• No one created something out of nothing
• Someone create something out of nothing

Key Phrase: Science is governed by the Law of Causality - Everything that comes to be needs a cause
