Man, now the textbook argument as to call it is filled with ignorance. That's rich.

I'm leaning on the fact that the universe exists and it has a beginning. In addition, I agree with the scientific community that supports the fact that the universe has a beginning. You want to argue the names and then dismiss credentials that are based on experience and reputation.

Nothing in being conflated. I gave you a straight response. It's obvious that you don't know the difference between Deism and Theism. This can help you: https://www.theosophical.org/files/events/MahatmaLetters/About_God.pdf
