 Given that the universe needs a cause, why doesn't God need a cause, Abdullah? There has to be a first cause to prevent an infinite regress. Wherever that first cause is, this I will call God. It's kind of like, here's a proposed explanation that isn't bound by space-time, has existed eternally with no contradiction about infinite regress. Its will, by the way, is just so, not contingent upon anything, which means that this thing is a non-rational agent. There can be no choice that it makes that is the result of rational consideration of effects because those things precede choice. It must be purely mechanical. If what created this universe was mechanical, then it has something moving its internal components to do things, but what's making its internal components move? You make even smaller components and even smaller or prior components and prior components. It'll be an infinite regress and there's a problem.
