Yes, but the nevertheless the majority view is that it did have a beginning. Even you admit that it had an origin, all effects have origins as well.
You're conflating origin with a beginning. That which begins, must necessarily end. This is not the case with origin.
In that case it didnt fit.
It's a false assumption. Gloves shrink. They don't even necessarily have anything to do with the murder.
The universe has purposes and we know that only personal beings can create purposes.
Fallacy of Begging the Question. You need to back up these claims with proof, evidence, arguments, etc.
That fits the Christian God.
It fits your claims, but again this is still just Begging the Question.
Also, the universe is a diversity within a unity
Ibid.
just like the Triune Christian God. We know from art experts that creators always leave a unique fingerprint to identify them as the creator.
Art experts will also readily admit that these same means of identification can be used by counterfeit artists. See the problem yet?
So only the Christian God has a triune nature, no other known creator god has that characteristic.
False.

How is it begging the question? I dont assume God exists, I am only assuming the universe exists and then reason to its cause. How is it a non-sequitur? It logically follows using the law of sufficient cause.
You're then assuming that it must be the Christian god. Nowhere have you proven anything.
In what way? The ancient creed was composed within five years of the event. Many historical events dont have that kind of evidence.
What ancient creed? Was it composed five years before or after the event? Please document the creed and prove when it was composed. Consensus doesn't cut it. Making the claim without any evidence to support it doesn't cut it.
You're butchering the English language. You're conflating a particular figure with figurative language. You're taking one particular figure and claiming that it encompasses all figurative speech.
Augustus Caesar, Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate, John the Baptist, Caiaphas are all historical people and I could name more.
Please document how you came to the conclusion that John the Baptist was a historical person. There are no historical traces of John the Baptist anywhere that I know of.
I am not saying it precludes it
Fair enough. Thanks for conceding the point.
It's quite likely.
if the entire books are esoteric knowledge transmitters as docphin5 and you appear to be claiming.
I'm not making the claims of others on this forum. Strawman argument.
I didnt say that myths never have historical events, I said generally.
You're waffling.
And there are other textual characteristics that are unlike myths such as character development. The character development in the NT is far greater than most myths.
False. If anything they're just the opposite. There is little to no character development whatsoever in the gospel narratives. They are all thumbnail sketches. Regardless, this doesn't make them mythological or historical. It just makes them thumbnail sketches.
Herodotus probably said that because he didnt want to admit that the hebrew god is God.
Regardless, it doesn't negate my point, or prove yours.
I never claimed I can prove it.
I never said you could either. The fact is that I'm proving that you can't.
You cant prove with certainty anything except your own existence.
You've obviously never read any of my posts on that particular subject. My contention is that nobody can actually prove their own existence. I've posted a number of posts on the topic.
I am just claiming there is strong evidence.
No one has forgotten your claims. No one is disputing that you're making this claim. What I've done is to point out that the claim is weak at best, and probably false.
