"...and in this i have every right to believe the revelation of a self existent,eternal creator is as valid as you to believe it has some unexplained cause.

Yes...as I have agreed before. The difference is that I think 'God' is an "unexplained cause", so it makes no difference what you call the 'first cause'. The other difference is that you attribute 'conscious caring & planning' to your first cause, and I make no such assumption.... indeed, I don't even necessarily believe there WAS a single 'casual event', God or otherwise. Since it is not something we can prove, I don't worry about it. What concerns me is what we do with the existence we have, and interpreting supposed scripture is not what I care to spend time on.
At least science & mathematics can do checks on each other. Interpreting scripture is a HUMAN argument.
