I think coercive taxation is a form of human slavery and should be abolished.

"An eternal mind creating without time is not just an opinion, it is the only kind of cause that fits a finite, law-based universe"

You don't know that the universe is finite, and some sort of cause that makes the universe exist doesn't necessarily have a mind. Why would it?

"Something from nothing is impossible because 'nothing' has no properties."
Then how did God make something out of nothing? Was it a miracle (a religious synonym for ignorance) or can you actually explain that which you claim to explain?

Secondly, if nothing has no properties then there is no barrier to the arising of something. Empty space does not block the movement of the planets. Perhaps the something we now observe was somewhere else, or in a different form. How did it get here? What made it change? I don't know and neither do you.

"If the universe began, something beyond it had to cause it"
You have no proof of this. It merely seems sensible to you.
"and that cause has to be eternal by definition"
You have no proof of this, and it's not hard at all to imagine a counter-example: Universe A begets Universe B begets Universe C.

"an eternal being can will to create without being bound by time"
Can you prove that or is this just another opinion?

Belief in God is "following the evidence to the kind of cause that fits the effect we see". Except that no evidence points to a Jewish Zombie Space Wizard, or a Greek Lightning swan-fucker (etc) as the Creator. I am doubtful that you can claim the universe was caused, but even if you could you cannot possibly have proof that it was a timeless consciousness outside of the universe, because proof is a concept that describes things in this universe and their relation to each other. You said yourself "nothing has no properties" so there is nothing we can prove about it. You cannot prove that "nothing" is (or contains) a timeless conciousness.

Why is something from nothing impossible?
Have you got any nothing we can test?

I haven't got to believe in anything eternal, because I have the humility to say "I don't know"

God perhaps did not begin to exist (I agree in a sense) but you claim he began to act. Why? When? How?
This is what I mean when I say you have only given a name to your ignorance.

I think you missed my point about the constants of physics.

First, when you say they "could be otherwise" I believe you are just mistaken. I think a more accurate claim is that we can imagine what would happen if they were otherwise.

Secondly, even if the constants of physics could be other than as they are now, this does not imply that the current values are unlikely. If whatever process generates universes almost always generates one with the constants of physics we now observe, then it is unsurprising that we have them and observe them. In order for you to claim it is surprising that we observe the constants of physics as we do, you need to show that whatever process generated these constants was more likely to pick other values. Failing that, it's simply your opinion.

"Things like torturing babies for fun are wrong regardless of anyone's opinion"
This is just an opinion that everyone shares. If it's more than that, prove it.

"On the infinite past, God is timeless, so He's not in the same sequence of days as the universe"
How do you know?

"all our uniform repeated experience is that information comes from a mind"
DNA is actually a great counter-example here, but not the only one. Plants have been shown to send chemical signals to each other which seem to convey information (eg I am being attacked by bug X so prepare your chemical defenses).
If you insist these were created by God and thus evidence of information being created by a mind, that is the claim these examples were meant to prove, so you are begging the question (a form of circular reasoning).

"The simplest explanation for a finute universe is a timeless, spaceless cause, not another physical universe, which would just push the problem back", except your "solution" also just pushes the problem back. I stop at what we can know and admit I know no more. You take it a step further, claiming to know what caused the known, but you don't claim to know what caused the unknown, just that it is a timeless spaceless consciousness that can cause things, for which you have no proof. This is not a better explanation than just saying "I don't know" what caused the universe.

A timeless, spaceless cause also just pushes the problem back.

Why does God exist? What caused God? The ultimate answer is you don't know.

I don't know what caused outer space to exist or the Big Bang to happen (if it did), and I call my unknowing "ignorance". You don't know either, but you call your unknowing "God".

On objective moral values: That's just your opinion. Prove it.

"you can't actually get to today if there's an infinite number of days before it"
Then when did God create the universe? You can't get to that day if there's an infinite number of days before it.

"information always come from a mind"
That's just your opinion.
If you define "information" such that it must always come from a mind, then either DNA might not be/contain information or you are begging the question.
If you don't define information in this way, you have yet to make your case.

"Physics shows the universe is fine-tuned in ways so exact that blind chance is incredibly unlikely"
"Fine-tuned" is loaded language that presumes it could be otherwise and was chosen this way.
"Blind chance is incredibly unlikely" doesn't actually make sense when you have no idea what process generates universes. Maybe it's incredibly likely that if there's a universe it behaves like ours. Maybe it's certain. What are the odds of flipping heads ten times in a row? What if the coin has heads on both sides? Similarly, you don't know what the "heads" and "tails" are of whatever "blind chance" generates the universe. Maybe it's almost all heads. Maybe it's all heads. Then the fact that we actually see all heads shouldn't surprise us at all or make us doubt that "blind chance" is sufficient to cause the result.

"The simplest explanation is that the universe had a beginning" except you don't stop there. You invoke some sort of pre-universe that did not have a beginning. A simpler explanation is that instead of having infinite universe (A, which you might call heaven or God or something to that effect) and finite universe (B) we only have infinite universe (A, which might be here) or finite universe (B, which is here if A is not here) and not both.

"The existence of objective moral values"?
Where do they exist?
What are they made of?

"Philosophy shows you cannot have an actual infinite past"
How does it do that?

How does DNA or physics indicate an "intelligent, personal source"?

In what way does the second law of thermodynamics point to a beginning?

The Big Bang and 2nd law of thermodynamics are not "scientific evidence", but rather theories to explain actual scientific evidence (eg galaxies drifting apart or heat radiating from a hotter to a colder region). That actual scientific evidence does little to prove that there was a definite beginning. If things are spreading apart now, then in the past they were probably closer together, but this does not show that if you just extrapolate all the way back to when everything was (presumably) really close together that nothing happened before this moment or that this moment ever actually occurred.

How do you know the universe began to exist?
If God is not part of the universe, in what sense does he exist?
What evidence points to an eternal consciousness?

"Reports over the weekend claimed that 800 Russian special forces had crawled for 15 kilometers through an unused section of pipeline, which once carried Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine, in order to carry out a sneak attack on Ukrainian forces in Sudzha."
