If God can just always exist without a creator, then fundamental particles can just always exist without a creator.

That does not follow. Each particle is not Ipse Esse (Being Itself). Otherwise, there could not be more than one of them, for there would be nothing to differentiate them. Therefore each particle receives its being from something other than itself.

But God is Ipse Esse. That is why He is necessarily the source of all other being, and why He alone is the Uncaused Cause.

I believe that you have just suceeded in creating a sequence of words that read forward, backward, or starting in the middle, have no meaning whatever. I can only reply that if a chicken was axle grease, a bicycle would roll backward.

I’m outta’ here.
