P1 Everything requires a cause
P2 God is something
C God requires a cause
P3 The universe is everything that is existent
P4 Something must have existed prior to God in order to cause it
C God cannot be the creator of the universe

I agree with P2 out of all of that...

Your syllogism has a few holes in it, but I appreciate your effort.

There are some questions that should never even be attempted to answer. I think this one I should have not even have read.

[RevOxley_501]

thats a poor way to look at it

[ChristineES]

Actually it isn't. We all know that any religions are faith based and there is no true empirical data to support it. If there was empirical data, I doubt there would be any atheists. The person writing the question knows that.

Since there are no hindus here to participate. Im alone. I say that hindusim has come up with one law which never fails, Karma.

No empirical data freely available to the public @ large, that is. I suspect the underlying esoteric meanings that the various religions have in common (and there is much in common) have a lot of verifiable data to back them...but we (the common Man) are not allowed access to it. These secrets are called arcana, and have been developed from base, rudimentary scientific truths over millenia. Ask the Catholic Church about it though, and you'll get the Deniability Cloak all over you.

What exactly is Karma?
I have found that this is a common definition given:

The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.

But it does not really help.
