If everything has a cause, then God must have a cause to his existence, then who does God pray to?
The Kalām Cosmological Argument formulates the argument in the following manner:
- Everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence.
- God began to exist.
- Therefore, God has a cause to his existence.

God is an eternal Being. He has no beginning and no end. Just because our minds are finite and cannot understand what it means to have no beginning doesn't mean it is impossible. God is greater than the scope of our minds can conceive.
The ancient Greeks had a hierarchy for their gods; Hercules was the son of Zeus, and Zeus was the son of the TItans, etc. But they realized it would just keep going back and back- until they finally realized that the buck had to stop somewhere. They called that god "The Unmoved Mover"- the being that had started everything, that had no beginning. This of course, was the God that Paul addressed in Acts when he saw the sign in Athens "to the unknown god". The Greeks understood that everything had to originate from one source- and that was God, who has always existed.

You misstate the argument. God did not begin to exist. The Universe DID begin to exist; therefore the universe has a cause.
You are either not too bright or dishonest, and maybe both.

Do you even read what you write ????
Every THING -- read what you wrote. Maybe this is another cut-and-paste. Every THING.

You cannot attach mans thoughts and limitations to God, otherwise, man would be God. Man would have created everything and there would be no need for science at all, because all knowledge would be within man and he would have no need to ask.
