I answered your previous question. Now I will answer your latest:

For an intelligent being to create spacetime, then he must have existed ontologically prior to it. But the only intelligent agents we have ever observed depend directly on chemical operations in a material brain. So, it would be impossible for such an intelligence to create spacetime. You could postulate the existence of a disembodied mind which operates on a nonmaterial substrate, but we have no good evidence at all for such an entity. So we dismiss that alternative hypothesis via Occam's razor.

There you are.

Who said anything about a "being"? If god was an organism like us then he wouldn't be God.

God is not a physical entity like you think.

In 42:11 and 6:103 we see that the Qur'an describes God as the unique, unchanging and eternal creator: "there is nothing like him"; and "no vision can grasp him" (6:103). As such, he is beyond representation, and humans are incapable of signifying him by any anthropomorphic image.

If you are comfortable with the idea that "The universe has always existed" then how can you dismiss "God has always existed"?

Logic is a funny thing...

The idea of a creator is absurd to you...

but the idea of the universe existing in all its glory with un-imaginable complexity existing without a creator is far more absurd to me.

And finally...

You ask us for evidence for God's existence yet you have no evidence to offer to support your theory of his non-existence.

Peace
