ANNOTATION:
No God?

For one to asserts that God does not exists is like saying that they don't have parents, that they don't requires a set of parents to produce them, that their parents doesn't exists at all, that they exists by and of themselves, without the aid of their parents.

If they appeared on the scence without parents, by and of themselves, then it's justified to claim that there is no God. But if they're being given birth by a set of human parents, then it's analogy is parallel to saying that God gave birth to his/her parents and also to him/herself. For without God, how can his parents and/or himself/herself be in existence? For without his/her parents how can he/she come be in existence? If not, then where did his/her parents came from, their grand-parents came from, their great-grand-parents, and their great-great-grand-parents and so on and on.

Don't tell me they came from the soil? Or the seas? Or from the chimpanzees?

REPLY: Where does god come from then?

Your biggest argument is that no one can be born from him/herself, someone or something must have existed before to create.

Well then, where did god come from? Just because he is all powerful, he still can't have created himself if he was not there to do so.

Can Something come from nothing? When drawing a line there will be a starting point and there will be the end, so if there is no God how it all started? "Just because he is all powerful, he still can't have created himself if he was not there to do so."Ron B So my question which come first the chicken or the egg?
