You said the universe is a closed system. If it is, god cannot exist in it and outside it. Your belief system is filled with oxymorons.
You just posted that the singularity was there at the first instant (time isn't infinite!) and thumped your chest about it.
The universe is a closed system. God can come into the closed system because God is not "matter, space and time". There is zero contradiction that God can exist inside and outside the Universe when God is not bound by the natural laws of the universe. Keep trying
You can repeat your finite time vs. eternity oxymoron as many times as you want, but it doesn't make you more right each time. It's wrong from the first time you tried it until you realize your logic fault and realize why. NOT ETERNAL. To quote Hawking, it's like saying you can find a point south of the South Pole. Next you'll be saying you can.
You have no concept of eternity. It's "timeless". You can try to put it with infinite time, which is absolutely an oxymoron
My car has a cause. It was manufactured in Japan. It has a purpose, too. To get me from here to there. Semantic word games don't make you right.
Lmao!!! Cause definition 1. a person or thing that acts, happens, or exists in such a way that some specific thing happens as a result; the producer of an effect: You have been the cause of much anxiety. What was the cause of the accident? The hole is getting deeper
Damn Denny must be beating his head in the keyboard by now. No wonder barfo loves to debate him. It's too easy
It came into being at the instant time began. Your scientist quote said that. Do you want to pick and choose what he said is right or wrong now? He's your witness.
Looks like you are leaning more to unicorn belief. Poof out of nothing is the universe. No purpose but cause because it's just because! You should really try and read your posts
