You are a bit presumptious.

Okay, here we go.

I'm not being anything. I asked a question that you virtually ignored. Now you are making assumptions as to my person.

Don't!

If you want to know something, ASK! I'll answer it to the best of my abilities.

The mystery as to where God "comes from" will be revealed, in time. Time. It appears that this would be right up your alley. And I can prove that.

"You are a bit presumptious."

I'm not being anything. I asked a question that you virtually ignored. Now you are making assumptions as to my person.


Recap:

I said (sarcastically):
Obviously the creator has a creator!

You replied:
Has anyone you know ever said that He didn't? I didn't think so.

Note your sentence after your question: I didn't think so.

You assumed the answer to the question you asked of me. I consider that presumptious. If you were trying to imply that you doubted that the answer to your question was "yes", then you should have phrased it as "I don't think so.". Using "didn't" implies that you have obtained information that confirms your suspicions. The context you used it in is common usage when a question is asked with the assumption that the answer is already known to be in the negative.
