It does not matter how proficient I become in the physical sciences I will still accept the physical universe as valid in itself : ie the physical universe is an independent / autonomous system. No amount of education in the sciences will alter this fact
Nevertheless despite that I still posit God as the fundamental Nature of Existence ..... This is clearly nonsense and does not logically compute : how can the physical universe be independent / autonomous and yet not be fundamental itself ?

The Universe is an isolated system [ one where energy cannot exit or enter ]
And as it is all that exists then it is also indepedent / autonomous as you say

But then you go commit a logical fallacy [ non sequitur ] by introducing God
Who has got absolutely nothing to do with the Universe as a physical system

The fact that you say it is a paradox does not invalidate the non sequitur since you lay claim to both your statements

You have also asserted God exists without any evidence so have committed another logical fallacy [ God Of The Gaps ]

So you either therefore need to :

A ] Provide actual evidence for this God

B ] Remove him from the equation entirely

Failure to do so renders your argument invalid
