We don't have to understand the plans and purposes of God to know that God caused the universe, in fact that is irrelevant.
RESPONSE:

Brad:
I have argued for the opposite conclusion, and you have not shown there to be ANY PROBLEM with my argument.

 Metacrock:
I disagree with your arguments Brad.

Brad:


QUESTION: Do you think that ANY of Swinburne's arguments for God or ANY of Kreeft's arguments for God can be successful WITHOUT making some assumptions about the PLANS or PURPOSES of God?
Metacrock:
I said we don't need to know that for certain arguments such as the CA or OA. But I think we can reasonably assert that God's plans and purposes are benevolent based upon what logical and and experiential evidence we do have, We don't need that much intellectual comprehension to understand love.
Brad:
If so, please point me to at least ONE such argument by Swinburne or Kreeft.
Metacrock:
    I don't know their arguments well enough to defend, But I do know mine,would you like me to introduce you  to a couple? The God is being itself thing, I could tell you about that,, again.
