If someone claimed that "God created existence to behave it behaves," I'd say, "Really? So God is somehow outside of, or beyond, existence? Then God must not exist." Even a god, if one exists, is subject to (not responsible for) the natural behavior of existence, whatever it might be.
As for why existence behaves the way it behaves, no worldview has any better of an answer than any other. Check out my videos "Lord Logic" and "Slick Logic".
@TheoreticalBullshit I've seen both "Lord Logic" and "Slick Logic". When you say that God is somehow outside of, or beyond, existence, therefore God doesn't exist, here's what I wonder: Our laws of logic only describe the limited scope of "existence" that we have seen. Also, the "something cannot create something out of nothing" logic stands only in the physical realm of existence that we have witness. What if there is another type of existence besides physical that CAN create physical stuff?
If God is indeed outside of existence, then God is no different from nothing. Once that claim is made, the theist has conceded that God cannot be differentiated from nothingness. To put it another way: If God is not within any reality we can know of, then God is unknowable. In that case, it is not possible to claim anything about God.
It doesn't matter what the theist has to say, he has already conceded that God doesn't exist.
@matt0198922 a=a is not like the causal principle, there is no possible world where a=a would not be true. Thus the entirety of existence must comply with this rule.
Hey man. Thanks for the video.

"What exists outside of existence?" - Nothing.
