From existence to the existence of God

From the study of existence we can and do come to the existence of God.

From my study of existence I have come to the certainty that there has always been existence.

Why has there always been existence?

You see, the contradictory statement to the statement above, namely, there has always been existence is the statement, there has never been existence.

Of these two in effect contradictory statements, namely:

1a There has always been existence.
1b There has never been existence.

Only one of the two is true, and it cannot be 1b, so the only true statement is 1a: There has always been existence.

Now, there are all kinds of existence which are transient, i.e. they have a beginning and an ending, for example, man has a beginning at birth and an ending at death.

From the existence of transient beings, it follows that there is at least one permanent self-existent being.

I call this permanent self-existent being, God, in concept the permanent self-existent cause of man and the universe and everything transient, i.e. with a beginning and an ending.

There, that is my argument for the existence of God.
