Cause argument! (: <070605>

UPDATE(180605): Ok so just this morning, I discussed about cause argument with daddy and he just kept drilling into me that human created God cos our long dead ancestors needed an answer to everything that was happening around them, all that they needed to know about the creation of this Earth, this universe, and their existance. Yes, and so, they created God.
Can some nice caring people just leave a tag and make the mist around me disappear for good? Thank you. (:

Happened to read a book on philosophy yesterday which had two men debating the topic on how the universe came about, whether God made the Big Bang, or it just happened, yeah and I found it rather intriguing. (:

Ok so here it goes: If God did not create the Big Bang, then what made it happen?
Guy A: Of course, who else but the omnipotent God created such a massive explosion, that created life? The Big Bang cannot occur just like that, the universe cannot come into existance just like that, and so only God is capable of causing the Big Bang, which in turn created universe, galaxies, planets, Earth, and you.
Guy B: Oh so you've finally brought God into this argument. Alright, let's say if God is the mastermind behind the Big Bang, then, who was the mastermind behind God?
Guy A: You cannot underestimate the presence of God. He is the truth of life, of you and I.
Guy B: You see, you argue that the universe cannot appear just like that, that the Big Bang was created by God, and so why do you believers always stop at God? Don't you ever ponder WHO or WHAT created God? Can't we just let God perish from the picture and accept that the Big Bang just happened?
Guy A: I don't quite follow you.
Guy B: See, if God was behind the Big Bang, then do I suppose there's a God no.2 behind this God no.1, and a God no.3 behind God no.2, and so on? This infinite chain will never end, and we'll end up with a cluster of infinite gods!

Ok that's all that I remember. Well of course this argument had been slightly edited cos my brain is not some super brain that can store the exact conversation. Yes so, this is what they call a cause argument, or a cosomlogical argument. From my point of view, this universe cannot start from absolutely nothing, and that there must be a beginning. We all know, though, that nothing that begins to exist does so without a cause; nothing comes from nothing. For something to come into existance, there must be something that's already existing, without a history of a beginning or an end, and so we bring God into the picture, the eternal Creator.

Dependent beings cannot cause themselves. They are dependent on their causes. If there is no independent being, then the whole chain of dependent beings is dependent on nothing and could not exist. But they do exist. Therefore there is an independent being.

Yeah I know this is pretty dry but, think about it you nuts, do you choose to believe that the Big Bang happened without a cause, or that the Creator, our heavenly Lord, initiated it? Well, I choose to believe the latter! (:

Anyhow, I stole this from bestie's blog hahah :
A man was attacking the belief of God. He argued that the world just happened. As he spoke a soft tomato was thrown at him. "Who threw that?" he demanded angrily. A cockney from the back of the crowd replied, "No one threw it - it threw itself."

Squeeze your brain juice dry mannn. Mine's dead dry already.
