Ok, I will illustrate the fallacy of that argument with a very simple parallel argument.
1. This post exists.
2. Therefore someone caused this post...i.e. CSflim
3. Therefore CSflim exists
4. Therefore CSflim has blond hair, blue eyes, enjoys fishing at the weekiend, likes the colour blue, has tentacles groiwng out of his ass, and loves you dearly.
So your arguemnt goes as follows.
1. The universe exists.
2. Thefore some completely unknowable, undefined force, external to the universe caused it.
3. This unknowable, undefinable, external cause, also caused itself.
4. Therefore God exists.
The fallacy of this arguemnt lies in point 4, which should read:
4. Therefore some completely unknowable, undefined force, external to the universe exists.
See the problem?
