Can the Cosmo's give evidence of God?

It is much more important to define God, than it is to prove that God exists. How can you say something exists, without saying what it is that you think exists? Take for instance what we were learning in class today. These philosophers were using Cosmological reasoning to show that God exists. They are all correct in their arguments proving the validity of God; they just have to define God as what their premises say God is. You can easily agree that God exists just because the universe exists, that is, if you define God as any action that does not have a cause. Since, at least, the time of the Greeks, humans have explained things that they did not know the scientific cause by saying it was God, the rain, the sun, or volcanic eruption. God then truly exists as merely nothing or rather the absence of something. It was even argued that, nothing that exists could come from nothing. However if God is nothing, you can just as easily say, that all things come from nothing. Furthermore, if you argue that existence is contingent on cause, which seems to be true of everything in our universe, I would ask why the laws that regulate the universe existed before the universe was made. People want to understand the universe we live in and if we have no scientific knowledge of why something has come to be, then it is said that God has done it (God meaning that I have no evidence of what caused it).

The only thing that we know of the universe’s existence, is that it has always been here. If the universe has always been in existence, then it would have to be eternal. Humans, throughout time, have not accepted this as possible because of how they look at time. Time is thought of linearly and has numbers associated to it as measurement. To my knowledge, to measure things correctly, you need to know the boundaries of what you are measuring. Without the boundaries, you have no measurement; whatever you are trying to measure would just be infinite or eternal. However, humans would say that since you can measure time, that there must be a beginning, and if there is a beginning, there must be a cause of that beginning action. This is where the question of what started the universe came from. This should indeed show the lack in understanding humans have of “time”.
