Because we haven't witnessed energy having a beginning.
You claimed to witness things beginning all the time.
Actually you said everything you witness has a beginning.
And since everything is made of matter and energy you haven't witnessed anything having a true beginning.

It doesn't mean energy and matter have no beginning but you claimed that everything you witness has a beginning. That is false.
So this line in your proof is false.
"3. And I find everything I experience to be in existence having a beginning to its existence."

You are talking about two different beginnings.
1. the beginning of everything, the universe, all matter and energy. The first cause.
2. the beginning of things in the universe which are just matter and energy changing from one form to another.
Can you not distinguish between these two?
You start off trying to prove 1. and then use 2. as examples in your proof.

Title of thread: How I prove God exists.
1. I define God as in concept first and foremost the creator cause of everything with a beginning.
2. So I search for everything with a beginning to its existence.
3. And I find everything I experience to be in existence having a beginning to its existence.
4. There, that is the evidence of God existing, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause of everything with a beginning.
5. Wherefore God exists, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause of everything with a beginning.

I analyzed your proof of God and found fault in it earlier in this thread.
I suggested you needed to come of with better axioms for your proof. Axioms that can be accepted as self evident and agreed upon.
I gave you an example of something that does not have a beginning (witnessed). Energy. It can neither be created nor destroyed.
Have you witnessed energy being created? Having a beginning?
You responded:
"I now give you the nose on our face, babies and roses, the sun in the day sky, the moon in the night sky, for examples of things with a beginning."
Noses, babies, roses, sun in the day sky, moon in the night sky. The are just configurations of matter and energy that had existence before they came to be.
I'm not here to prove God exists or not. I'm in this thread to tell you your proof is wrong. I have every right to post in this thread.
en.wikipedia.org...
“In physics, the law of Conservation of Energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant, it is said to be conserved over time.[1] This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed from one form to another.”
[Etc.]

I did not say energy had no beginning.
I said you have not experienced it beginning.
For the love of your God.

I object to your proof of the existence of God. Not God.
It's as simple as that.
There may be a God or may not. I never in this thread said there was or wasn't.
This thread is about your proof.
The thread is titled "How I Prove God Exists."
So I came here to talk about how YOU prove God exists. Not me. YOU.
Anyhow, time for others to chime in. I've exhausted my patience for you and your pseudo-philosophical word salad.
No, it's not as simple as that, unless you specify intelligently what is that you are referring to.
Dear Deluxe, you say: "I object to your proof of the existence of God. Not God. It's as simple as that." No, it's not as simple as that, unless you specify intelligently what is that you are referring to.
After I have pursued your thinking, I come to conclude that you have not proven anything in the universe to not have a beginning.
Hint: Read the OP,
Okay, so that you can appear to be into speaking without silly semantics, tell readers here what is my proof for the existence of God: for you cannot be objecting to something you don’t know about at all, in the present case, my proof for the existence of God. Hint: Read the OP, and tell me what you understand of it, as to object to it, without silly semantics.
