Just because of the law mentioned earlier, matter isn't necessarily eternal. It had to have come about somehow. However, a god doesn't (though some religions do provide that gods were born).

This... is why I find religion so hard to believe. The fact that you are willing to apply causality to the universe, but not to your own god which you claim created the universe. How can you say that god can just be when the universe can't? That's a logical fallacy. You're picking and choosing where a law applies without any stated reason. If you actually have a rationale for how he can be eternal but nothing else can, I'd like to hear it. And please, not just, "He's god. He can do anything." If that is the case, I'd like to hear a coherent explanation for how he acquired these powers, or if he had them all along, what is it about god that allows him to just have these powers?
