The God

When discussing the possibility of a God, the one argument that seems to strike a cord with me is the argument of the uncaused cause. Although there are some people who seem to claim that all causes are caused, that there is no uncaused cause, I don't quite understand how someone comes to this assumption (but I am sure that they may be thinking the same about my position). However, if there were a cause that did not need to be caused, that is, had no need to have been begun or set in motion by something else, it would seem that this cause would have to be perfect, that is, lacking nothing. To claim that something is the source of all "causes" would also imply that this something is perfect, that it is the source of the universe, life, and existence. This perfect thing would have to be totally sufficient, that is, not in need of anything else to keep it from not existing, it must be able to sustain itself. Therefore, it would have to be outside of time, eternal since its be-ing would not have been caused, and outside of our understanding of what it means to exist. This thing would just "be." It seems fair to say that this perfect, self-sustaining, and eternal cause would be what we mean when we think of "the God." Whether this God is Hydrogen, or a personal being, is a topic worthy of further discussion. For now, however, it doesn't seem to make a difference if our "God" is Hydrogen or a personal being, we know that whatever it is, this God is the eternal, perfect, and self-sustaining cause behind all things.

I will post more about his, but if anyone other than myself, my mother, and my wife is reading this, chew on it for a while.
