If a god that could’ve created the universe can exist without a creator and without having been created by an uncreated creator (or a created creator) and without having been caused by an uncaused cause (or a caused cause), then so could the currently existing universe come to existence (and exist and keep existing) without a creator and without having been created by an uncreated creator (or a created creator) and without having been caused by an uncaused cause (or a caused cause).
If nothing can by itself alone create itself, and so the universe couldn’t have by itself alone created itself, then also even a god couldn’t exist without being caused and even a god could never have come to existence without being caused or created by another cause or creator other than himself (this particular god). If everything requires a creator to exist, then who created the creator? If not everything requires a creator to exist, then god could exist without a creator, and so does the universe (the universe also could come to existence without being created by any god whatsoever or any entity whatsoever other than the universe itself (this isn’t to say that the universe created itself, but this is to say that there was no creator of the universe that did create the universe while this creator of the universe is not part of or is not inside the universe, that is, the universe wasn’t created by an entity that is outside the universe and is not part of the universe and is distinct from the universe and is not inside the universe. This does not necessarily mean that the universe instead was created by itself or by an entity that is inside the universe or is not distinct from the universe or is not outside the universe or is a part of the universe)), and the universe also could exist and come to existence and keep existing without being caused by something else that is other than the universe itself and/or outside of and distinct from the universe itself.
And so the impossibility of the universe existing and/or coming into existence without being created by an uncreated creator that is distinct from and is outside of and is other than the universe itself is true and right and correct only if the impossibility of any god whatsoever existing without being created by an uncreated creator that is distinct from and is outside of and is other than this particular god himself is true and right and correct.
And the impossibility of the universe existing and/or coming into existence without being caused by an uncaused cause that is outside of and is distinct from and is other than the universe itself is true and right and correct only if the impossibility of any god whatsoever existing without being caused by an uncaused cause that is outside of and is distinct from and is other than this particular god himself is true and right and correct.
And so the universe cannot exist without a god if any god whatsoever cannot exist without any other god or creator of him (of this god) as well.
If any god could exist on his/her own without having been created or caused by anything else then so could the universe exist without having been created or caused by anything else. So the argument that the universe can’t exist without being caused or created by an uncaused cause or an uncreated creator does not prove the existence of any god whatsoever, because if a god can exist without being caused or created, then the universe as well can exist and can come to existence without being caused or created.
Any of the gods that are possible to exist require an uncaused cause or an uncreated creator that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of any particular god of the gods that are possible to exist in order for them to exist or else they would be impossible to exist if the universe requires an uncaused cause or an uncreated creator that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of the universe in order for the universe to exist, which means that they (any of these gods that are possible to exist) require an uncreated creator that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of any particular god of the gods that are possible to exist and they (any of these gods that are possible to exist) require an uncaused cause that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of any particular god of the gods that are possible to exist for them to come to exist if the currently existing universe did require an uncreated creator that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of the currently existing universe to exist and to come into existence and/or just as the currently existing universe did require an uncaused cause that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of the currently existing universe to exist and to come into existence.
A creator of the universe must have been created by another entity that is uncaused and is uncreated and is other than and is distinct from and is outside of this acclaimed (or supposed) creator of the universe if the universe can’t come to existence without having been created by another entity (a creator) that is uncaused and is uncreated and is other than and is distinct from and is outside of the currently existing universe.
If any of the gods that are possible to exist – without being caused by an uncaused cause that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of any of these gods that are possible to exist and without being created by an uncreated creator or a created creator that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of any of these gods that are possible to exist – actually does exist, this god does not have to be the uncaused cause that has created the currently existing universe because the currently existing universe can come to existence without being caused by an uncaused cause that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of the currently existing universe and the currently existing universe can come to existence without being created by an uncreated creator or a created creator that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of the currently existing universe, just as this (particular) god has come to existence without being caused by an uncaused cause that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of this (particular) god that is possible to exist and just as this (particular) god has come to existence without being created by an uncreated creator that is other than and is distinct from and is outside of this (particular) god that is possible to exist.
