Do you know what faith is?

Your statement that "there are some things you can't prove. One being a God," I see it to be grounded upon your self-complacency with knowing something like that "there are some things you can't prove. One being a God," but without ever doing some thinking about it.
WOW.
Please tell the readers how you could possibly know if the person you are replying to hasn't thought about what they posted?
Well, I am here to enjoy seeing a lot of folks can't think straight, unlike me.
You think straight?
The above what I quoted where you assume to know what a person has thought of is thinking straight in your opinion?
WOW, the ego is strong with this young padawan.
Do you know what faith is?

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.
3. Everything you experience that exists has a beginning.
- Like what? Your just witnessing energy changing forms. [Etc.]
I see that you have not thought straight about what you want to say with the word WOW.
Why? or how do I know that you have not thought straight what you wanted to tell me with your word WOW all three letters in upper case, because if you had through straight you would not have posted the word WOW in upper case two times.
If you had thought straight you would not have uttered in writing in upper case letters the word WOW, you should have told me exactly what you see to be sense or nonsense with my post.
Proof of that with you, is that you tried to think and talk straight after sending your post, with re-writing it as to give it some straight veneer, but you failed.
Here is how you corrected version of your post ends:
Okay, Inhale Exhale, let you think straight and tell me what is faith for you. You must have some concept of faith, otherwise how could you be into straight thinking with asking me what is faith - if you had no concept whatsoever on what is faith with your own thinking. Think about that straight.
I invite you to present a thought from your thinking not more than in 50 words, representing straight thinking from you.

Do you subscribe to things without a beginning? If so, please present examples of things existing but without a beginning.

Dear Deluxe, it is a great honor to exchange thoughts with you on my argument to prove the existence of God.
I will just reproduce my OP so that we can refer to it conveniently.

Dear Deluxe, you are after examples of things with a beginning in the totality of existence, you say:
3. Everything you experience that exists has a beginning.
- Like what? Your just witnessing energy changing forms. [Etc.]
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.
Do you subscribe to things without a beginning? If so, please present examples of things existing but without a beginning.

So let's analyze your proof.
1. You define God as the creator of all things with a beginning.
- For the sake of this argument let's accept your definition of God.
2. You subjectively as yourself search for everything with a beginning.
- 2 and 3 can be combined you don't need to tell us you searched for everything with a beginning.
3. Everything you experience that exists has a beginning.
- Like what? Your just witnessing energy changing forms. You are not witnesses energy being created.
- Are you saying eg a newborn baby has a beginning? It technically has a beginning as a baby but it's just recycled energy. By your argument God created the baby not the parents because God creates everything with a beginning and everything you experience beginning is created by God.
4. the rest is word salad. You should just say "Therefore God exists"
Now i could be wrong but this proof is not sound at all.

Dear posters here who are out and out atheists, you see I am working on the idea that out and out atheists have nothing to show in regard to their any step by step explanation of: why and how they come to hold to the brand of their being atheist.
When they do appear to produce any explanation at all on why and how they get to adopt the brand name of atheist, they are in fact not into any rational explanation, but into gobbledygook.
You don't accept that?
Okay, at the risk of extremely antagonizing you all out and out atheists, I challenge you to produce a rational explanation of why and how you become atheist.

Sorry Pachomius I am done conversing with you.
You don't seem to respond to my examples or posts but just re-iterate your points.
You seem like your a bot.
Have you ever argued with a bot. Strikingly similar.
Yea, but, you don’t want to discuss this in a rational way, so, what’s the point?

This post is not directed to any particular poster, but to all posters who desire to exchange thoughts with me.
My thread is entitled thus: "How I prove God exists."
So, if you have your idea on how you prove God does not exist, then we can have a most interesting exchange.
So, what are you waiting for? - as the commercials on tv puts it in a sale pitch.
Of course we can or you can ask me to repeat my step by step argument for God's existence.
Or we can start from as from a tabula rasa, and you be the one to begin with your step by step argument on how you prove God does not exist.

I know I wasn't asked but I'd like to present an example of a thing existing that didn't have a beginning:
- an eternally existing God, i.e. an eternal God, a God that has always existed and therefore does not have a beginning
From your commentary it doesn't seem you want to argue that God does not exist, that God is not "a thing", or that God has a beginning. It seems you subscribe to at least 1 thing without a beginning if the God you spoke about in the OP is eternal.

You already admit that you can believe things that have no evidence to support them, so, there is nothing to talk about.

Dear Woodcarver, you tell me:

That is your bone of contention, and you and I will know who is rational, you or me, unless and until you and I exchange thoughts on God exists or not, each one arguing step by step, and thus readers can judge and we also if we be both possessed of intelligent and honest discernment, who is rational and who not.
