    “Everything exists because something caused it to exist, therefore God exists.”

    Two problems:

    1. Who says the source of creation has to be God? Couldn’t it just as easily be solar radiation cooking primordial amino acids until they did something interesting?

    2. If God exists, and everything that exists was created by something, who created God? If you admit God is eternal and had no creator, that breaks the model of “everything exists because it was created.”

    Why would a god need anyone to argue whether or not it exists? Too shy to show itself to the world on a regular basis?

    Is This The Best Argument For God’s Existence?

    Probably, and that’s sad because it’s such a weak one that several people have already dismantled in the comments here.

    If that’s the best argument ya got….

    ……

    Maybe ya need to reconsider some things. It’s circular arguments so tangled, it’s best to just toss it.

    I haven’t watched the video, but I remember Avicena’s arguments on God’s existence was easily debunked by a random geezer on Quora
