No Middle Ground

Either there is a god and everything matters or there is no god and absolutely nothing matters. There is no middle ground regarding this issue. No gray area. Either there is a god. Or, there is not.

If I had to give a quick rationale for the existence of God, it would be as follows:

God Talk

Logically speaking, for every “effect,” there is a “cause.”

The “cause” is always greater than the “effect” because without the “cause,” there would be no “effect.”

So, the “effect” owes its “existence” to the “cause.”

“Effect” is dependent on “cause.”

At some point in “time” there had to have been a “non-dependent effect” that needed no “cause” based on the fact that the “universe” exists and at one point, did not.

“Something” “caused” the universe to “exist.”

Thus, the entire universe is a “dependent effect.”

The “non-dependent effect” that “caused” the universe is what we call “god.”

So you are saying that God was not "dependent on anything"
My question is this, "How did God come to exist"?
