According to Bible the eternal God created both time and space. According to Bible, God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That means one person in three different existence.

In my opinion, it would be against formal logic to ask when God came into being or who created God. An eternal being logically does not need to be created.

Also words like before, now, after, when etc. are bound to time but there is no time in eternity.

Dawkins God Delusion was almost comic book level. He managed to disprove the existence of a Big Dicky Dawkins. Joke material. Embarrassing. A most noteworthy fact is that almost none of the critics of theism ever actually study the matter at a university level. People who do, like most of mankind by far, find theism fully rational and reasonable. I studied the so called refutations of Hume and others and they are ridiculous. Hume's famous "fork rule" against metaphysics ... breaks Hume's famous "fork rule" against metaphysics. Hard to believe he could make so obvious a blunder. Professor Ed Feser is a fun read on these matters and his book "The Last Superstition: a refutation of the new atheism" is brilliant and fun. What I really like is ... sane.

This is really a good post. I know it is 5 years old but none the less. The three different gods should have labels to prevent the confusion that exists in these discussions.

The God posited in the DDS is not the God described in the OT, a Being that is pleased by the burning of flesh and demands the spilling of blood for atonement. And DDS is also incongruent to the NT trinitarian Godhead. The god of theology is closer to Deism than to Christianity. In these discussions there are a lot of bait and switch about which God is being debated.

"I agree with most of the criticism brought in against Dawkins as to his lack of philosophical acumen, but overall I think that his arguments were quite good."

But the criticisms brought against him are that his arguments aren't good, as you've mentioned. The truth is that his arguments make many elementary mistakes, and they are genuinely not good. So, what are you trying to say?

Ever consider the finite evidenced universe is what is not necessary? To say otherwise begs the question of it's existence.

Someone asked me once if I would be interested in their church. I said no I don't believe in such nonsense. Conversation over. As the nation becomes less religious many will find that such a question may come with an answer they are not prepared for.

We have evidence of the universe. Not of any god. It's simply wishful thinking to invent a being we don't know exists or have proof it exist.
To explain the universe that we know exists and have proof exists a god is not necessary.

Theology is an waste of time and is worthless degree.
