These points are non-sequitor and strawman fallacies

Response to Fair question but

 
The Law of Causality states that everything that is "FINITE" or that has a BEGINNING" MUST HAVE a CAUSE. There is no such thing "NOTHING" causing existence as evolutionists try to force into science. NOTHING does NOT EXIST to cause something FINITE to exist. Only something that EXISTS can cause something to exist.

Everything does has a cause. And it's a strawman to say that evolutionist claim that something was created from nothing. Quite the contrary. Everything is created from something. When we reach the point of "we don't know", some people leap to the "God did it" answer, and others simply remain at "we don't know". Once seems sound and rational, the other a leap into superstition and mysticism.

Evolution teaches that something came into existence from absolutely nothing ie. (abiogenesis, or spontaneous generation. Intelligent Designers or Biblical Creationists say that evidence points to intelligence. Creationists go further and call this Intelligent Designer the God of the Bible. This proves that if at least intelligent design is taught as the alternative to evolution the facts from science will support intelligent design.

No... Not necessarily. See above point. And drawing the conclusion that "God did it" as it is the only answer that makes sense simply discards the science and fails to accept the reality - that know one knows.

As to what caused God........well God is NOT FINITE, He is INFINITE meaning that He has ALWAYS EXISTED and ALWAYS WILL EXIST. The Law of Causality stipulates that ONLY that which has a BEGINNING needs a cause for it's beginning. God HAS NO BEGINNING because He's always exisrted therefore is a CAUSE that is UNCAUSED.

It can't be scientifically established that "God" even exists. So again it is both a strawman fallacy and a post hoc ergo proper hoc fallacy that you're putting forth.

So NOW WILL YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION as to who/what was the PRIMARY CAUSE of ALL THINGS FINITE that come to be? There is a choice you have......you either accept the fact of God OR you go into denial but one thing you CAN'T do is make ANY CLAIM that REAL science supports the farce of evolution.

I will provide my answer to this question. We don't know, and I doubt we ever will. What we do know is that the Universe is older than the earth, that the sun is older than the earth, and that the earth is older than all accountable human history. Also, in observing life forms over time, the fossil evidence, and the genetic imprints contain in them we know that life has been evolving for as long as we know it to have been in existance.

That makes no claims about how it started, or first cause being "God" or "Nothing". It is simply as statement that stands by itself supported by the evidence, tests, and observations.
