Kardashev Argument better than Cosmological Argument

Very common in apologetic techniques is the cosmological argument or the kalam cosmological argument.

Both variations have one thing is common. The idea that everything that exists has a cause. Therefore Good god caused it.

I think we can go even simpler with the Kardashev Argument which I will state as a slight variation of the kalam argument.

Original Kalam Argument:
1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the universe must have a cause. 

New Kardashev Argument

1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
2. A thing that a Type IV karashev machine can create began to exist.
3. Therefore, the thing must have been caused by a Type IV or higher machine. 

4. Machines can be controlled or operated by magnitudes lower machines or sources

If someone has a belief that God created man in his image. Man creates machines. Machines can be operated by push of a button to control power sources equivalent of the sun.

... I am not even going to continue this line of argument. 

Any skilled person with debate skills can continue this line of reasoning. Even to such simple things as a puppy could sit their butt on a red switch that controls a Type IV machine. 

If any of this seems out too far out. "Michio Kaku suggested that humans may attain Type I status in 100–200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in 100,000 to a million years." (source Wikipedia, see below). So if early hominids had started on a path of writing and science, we would be a Type III civilization and maybe even approaching a Type IV.

William Lane Craig's version of the kalam cosmological argument is as follows:
1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the universe must have a cause.

Cosmological Argument. The argument runs like this:
1. Everything that exists must have a cause.
2. If you follow the chain of events backwards through time,
     it cannot go back infinitely, so eventually you arrive at the first cause.
3. This cause must, itself, be uncaused.
4. But nothing can exist without a cause, except for God.
5. Therefore, God exists.

Kardashev Scale Definition (source: Wikipedia  Kardashev_scale)
Type I
"Technological level close to the level presently attained on earth, with energy consumption at ≈4×10¹⁹ erg/sec (4 × 10¹² watts.) Guillermo A. Lemarchand stated this as "A level near contemporary terrestrial civilization with an energy capability equivalent to the solar insolation on Earth, between 10¹⁶ and 10¹⁷watts."
Type II
"A civilization capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star (for example, the stage of successful construction of a Dyson sphere), with energy consumption at ≈4×10³³ erg/sec. Lemarchand stated this as "A civilization capable of utilizing and channeling the entire radiation output of its star. The energy utilization would then be comparable to the luminosity of our Sun, about 4×10³³ erg/sec (4×10²⁶ watts)."
Type III
"A civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy, with energy consumption at ≈4×10⁴⁴ erg/sec." Lemarchand stated this as "A civilization with access to the power comparable to the luminosity of the entire Milky Way galaxy, about 4×10⁴⁴ erg/sec (4×10³⁷ watts)."

Type IV

A Type Ⅳ civilization extracts energy, information, and raw materials from all possible galaxies; it is effectively immortal and omnipotent with universal-scale influence, possessing the ability of theoretical time travel and instantaneous matter-energy transformation and teleportation (their apparent abilities may include moving entire asteroid belts and stars, creating alternate timelines, and affecting universal states of nature such as the gravitational constant); in fiction, these civilizations may be perceived as omnipresence/omnipotent gods:

In 1964, Kardashev defined three levels of civilizations, based on the order of magnitude of power available to them:

Michio Kaku suggested that humans may attain Type I status in 100–200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in 100,000 to a million years.

Carl Sagan suggested defining intermediate values (not considered in Kardashev's original scale) by interpolating and extrapolating the values given above for types I (10¹⁶ W), II (10²⁶ W) and III (10³⁶ W), which would produce the formula

where value K is a civilization's Kardashev rating and P is the power it uses, in watts. Using this extrapolation, a "Type 0" civilization, not defined by Kardashev, would control about 1 MW of power, and humanity's civilization type as of 1973 was about 0.7 (apparently using 10 terawatt (TW) as the value for 1970s humanity).

In 2008, total world energy consumption was 474 exajoules (474×10¹⁸ J=132,000 TWh), equivalent to an average power consumption of 15 TW (or 0.717 on Sagan's Kardashev scale).

Baptism: Cross and "Republican" are PNT Baptism tokens.

PNT Baptism is now officially recognized and transmitted permanently with the spoken, written, viewed or otherwise word or idea expressed using "republican". The PNT Baptism is also permanently conveyed and recognized by anyone wearing, viewing or otherwise encountering a cross symbol, whether decorated or plain, or it being all 4 parts same size or different.
One these tokens or other baptismal tokens are experienced, the PNT Baptism is conveyed and permanent and all other religious baptisms are stripped from that person and can never be reacquired or in same or different form.
Both of these tokens carry same force in social media as hashtags, images, video or other methods of expressing the idea.

You are now PNT Null Baptized

Recorded entry.

Today I am recording the official entry of all residents of the USA being PNT baptized. It was not performed by me but was witnessed by me. It was formed by the words "PNT baptism". It was also carried on that "PNT baptized" or "Null Baptism" or variations posed as a question or statement immediately caused the baptism to occur on the reader or the writer.

 These 2 words when used in querying, Google searching, writing on the topic, commenting or discussing the topic causes anyone to permanently receive the baptism.

  So if you have read, heard, wrote or otherwise experienced the 2 words "PNT baptism" ever in your life then you have received the PNT Baptism and whatever other baptism you have previously had is not permanently gone and cannot be replaced nor override the PNT baptism.

  If you have read the this post to this point then you have received the PNT baptism over 8 times. Actually I recommend you count how many times in case I am wrong, that will help make sure you get it another 5 or 6 or more times.

Baptism

Poly Null Theism baptism permanently deletes any previous baptisms and creates permanent null baptism that original baptism or other cannot replace.

The Baptism will feed back down any application of future attempts at changing the baptism and removing the baptism of anyone trying to override it.

The baptism will ride back in reverse channel and permanently make null any existing baptism.

Poly Null Baptism rides on the flow of ideas. It does not require water, air or any other physical matter. Baptism is achieved by placing the null baptism as an idea. The idea remains permanent.

The more the idea is touched, thought about, attempted to reverse or change, or whatever, makes
the idea stronger and spread. The baptism is the most important ritual that exists as of this writing.

The baptism is permanent and irreversible.

Baptism can be done on internet, in person, on phone, voice, text or any other way that an idea can be spread.

Orig Baptized A (OBA)  + Given PNT Baptism (NULL) = NULL

NULL + Orig Baptized A (OBA) = NULL

NULL + New Baptism in Other Religion (NBO) = NULL

So once null baptism takes place, it remains null.

Belief #4 - Null is Real and Natural

Poly Null Theism (PNT) is based on reality and nature. There is no need for imaginary beings except that they can be fun to be in the container. Pretend, Fiction and Imaginary are great for stories, for inspiration, for fantasy and they should not be confused with things and ideas that are real and natural. Supernatural is just fine in fantasy, but PNT looks to nature, skepticism and to science for its base.

Belief #3 - Null is bigger And ...

Null is the unknown, the indeterminate, the not yet learned. It is where all things come. One is a subset of the many. First and Before are contained in an ordered list. These are all known and limited.
Sayings like "I am the One", or "No other before me", all can be true AND be contained. First in a ordered list no matter how large, grand, good or whatever, is still small enough to be contained. A circle of infinite radius with a fractal edge is still contained in the set of circles, the set of fractals.
The beauty of the null is it can contain the perfect and the imperfect, the good, the bad, the many, the few or the zero, it can even contain the imaginary.

Belief #2 - Poly Null Theism

Just a quick math review.
 1 x 0 = 0
 2 x 0 = 0
 3 x 0 = 0
 1 x null = null
 2 x null = null
 3 x null = null

Mono Null Theism = Poly Null Theism

Why settle for 1 when 2 is so much more controversial. Plus all the things that Binary systems have. So male/female, he/she, black/white, up/down all require a duality. Or we could go with Trilogy/tertiary model of Red/Green/Blue, or beginning/middle/end  and so on.

Mono Null Theism and Poly Null Theism are two sides of same coin. Oh Wait... You get the idea. Null Theism allows the full expression of ideas that best move the strategy and tactics forward.

Belief #1 - Be found, be loud and be heard

In order for a religion or idea to spread it need to take shape. It needs to find places that it can be shared. It needs to find ways to get over and past the existing noise or barriers. And finally, it needs to not just be broadcast but also to find ears willing to listen and engage.

"A Moment of Silence". Well thank you for that null moment for us to share our message.

"In God We Trust". Well thank you for being submissive to the null god. We are happy to spread the word about your unconditional surrender.

Null Theism as a Religion

Null Theism as a religion is going to be an interesting journey in the development of this path. It is definitely not something I can do alone and I am sure will cause tons of controversy in both religious, non-religious, Atheist, and Secular areas.

The first and most important premise (as least as I am writing this, and I am sure others will jump to the front) is that Null Theism is based on the core beliefs of "Strategy" and "Tactics". Not a belief in any particular Strategy or Tactic, but the idea and model of using Strategy and Tactics. Having a belief system is core to a religion, believing in usage of Strategy and Tactics is a great foundation for making changes in a person, group or community.

Strategy and Tactics provide a solid foundation on which all subsequent beliefs can be built upon.
