> Background Note : Hinduism puts forth that this universe and our existence is not the outcome of some being / God. As, logically, speaking, if the universe came to be from the actions of some superior being, then it is implied that some higher being made this superior being, and the hierarchy goes on without end. Hinduism posits that this is absurd and that the universe is nothing but god. Every molecule, every atom, every soul is an expression of god.
Your statements are directly refuted by the Gita itself:
BG 10.39: I am the generating seed of all living beings, O Arjun. No creature moving or non-moving can exist without me.
BG 10.42: What need is there for all this detailed knowledge, O Arjun? Simply know that by one fraction of my being, I pervade and support this entire creation.
BG 10.8: I am the origin of all creation. Everything proceeds from me. The wise who know this perfectly worship me with great faith and devotion.
There is no problem of infinite regress when God is defined as the uncaused cause.
Neither is a scripture being both religious in nature and philosophical a mutual exclusivity.
