And so it goes with your "eternal" argument, Seth. We can't explain God in temporal terms since the matrix of human thought demands "cause and effect" and, if we were to say that God is the "prime mover" or uncaused cause, then people would have a problem with that because they would demand who created God. Thus, we will say that He is "eternal" and put it out of the realm of things humans can think about and into the realm of the metaphysical thus avoid having the argument at all. It's a cop-out is what it is.

How exactly is that a cop-out? Not everyone, especially not the theologians with whom I concern myself, put matters of eternity "out of the real of things humans can think about." Just because you're uneducated of such teachings doesn't mean you should turn a blind eye to the entire concept.
