The Cosmological Arguments for God's Existence

[ding]

No, existence from non-existence is not only not absurd, it's what happened, Einstein. Also, there is no transcendence of both space and time, and that's why god is impossible as an existing entity immune from space and time.

And yet the laws of nature or instructions for how matter and energy behaves existed before our existence.

You erroneously assume that before our existence existed that no existence could exist before that. Since we know the laws of nature were in place we know something existed before our existence.

Our existence began with the creation of our space and time. Just because there was a point where our existence did not exist, that doesn't mean that something didn't exist before it.

LMAO!

"And yet the laws of nature or instructions for how matter and energy behaves existed before our existence. "

You don't know that.

Sure I do. You are the one who doesn’t. Unless you are saying you know they didn’t. Is that what you are arguing? Because I’d love to hear your argument and see your evidence for how you know the laws of nature were not in place before space and time were created.

Right here, Einstein:

'Alkaline vents are highly stable geological systems; Lost City is estimated to be about 100,000 years old, which as noted by Russell, is 10(17) microseconds, a time unit more consonant with chemistry. That gives plenty of time for abiotic chemistry to develop, especially if early vents were indeed contiguous across the ocean floor. Moreover, the fact that olivine and water are both abundant in space (de Leeuw et al 2010), and so presumably all on wet, rocky Earth-like planets, implies that equivalent conditions could be projected to occur on as many as 40 billion exoplanets in the Milky Way alone (Lane 2015).'
