Nor have you demonstrated the existence of any being not subject to the laws of the universe. All so-far observed beings are subject the laws of the universe.

It's simple. According to our materialistic view, all things must have a cause, nothing can come from nothing. As such, there must be a special entity that came from nothing to make it all. I believe that argument style is called "special pleading".

Two false premises and a non-sequitur. A hat trick.

I forgot. In honor of the Kentucky Derby: Two false premises and a non sequitur. A trifecta.

God claims to inhabit eternity. By definition that would make Him eternal. A concept that science has given us further incite into.

By reading the book of Job in the Old Testament, one can begin to see the consistency with which science has begun to line up with scripture. One can also learn God's perspective on your "special pleading" issue.

Many of the errors and misconceptions of science could have been quickly resolved by a scholarly read of the Bible. Most landmark scientific discoveries were inspired by Biblical literacy. You know the names, times and places.

God rewards the diligent student. Becoming literate in the Bible will not hurt you.
