The absolute is the highest reality possible, infinity, truth. This absolute must be immaterial since it is different from all matter, if it were not, it would be just another object and not reality itself.
So when a philosopher asks what caused God, if God is meant the absolute and not a mythological deity, than there is no answer to the question what caused the absolute, since the absolute is immaterial and thus has no cause. It is uncaused.
So the question is, if the absolute is uncaused, but everything in the universe has a cause to it, how does the uncause cause the universe? How does truth create something? Does something exist and then truth exists, or are they both simultaneously one?
I believe you mean Eternal, kNot Absolute. Eternal is Infinite, whereas Absolute is kNot necessarily Infinite.
There is a difference!
But to answer your question, Numbers define God, for they are Infinite as well. So God can be Defined, just kNot Confined.

On a physical level human consciousness does not matter to existence of the universe, but do planets and stars have intelligence? Or are they just features of nature without consciousness. Then is nature itself smart?

So at the root of the essence of energy, there is consciousness.

Existence becomes truth when it becomes observed. Reality is the universe + consciousness. The absolute is the capacity to develop consciousness, and perhaps consciousness itself assuming consciousness is external to the brain and is eternal.
Truth exists if it is observed or not, so consciousness is not even necessary. The unverse would exist if every conscious being died out. The development of consciousness is a product of the absolute due to the fact that everythings true nature is the absolute reality.

Exactly. Energy became conscious of itself, and experienced itself (experimented with itself), which is how the universe formed. Similar to us making water splash while experimenting with movement, except this came from within itself. Unfortunately, as such simple creatures more focused on material then spirit, we are unaware of this energy consciousness, also known as the Spirit.
If one could tap into the higher mind, and communicate with the energy...miracles could be made.

In my opinion, we are already tapped into the higher mind. We make miracles everyday. The fact of our existence alone is a miracle. We don't just communicate with the energy, we are the energy and the energy is and the energy knows itself to be.
The capacity of ourselves to know ourselves to be is directly proportional to how tapped in we are. You might be alive, but that doesn't mean you are living.

Absolute has nothing to do with cause. Absolute is defined by its own nature, in and of itself. I could drink a gallon of milk in 10 seconds and then have to pee an hour later. The cause was extreme (unless you're into that sort of thing) but the result was average, because everyone pees.
The pee would be absolutely wet. Why? Because there is no argument as to the pee being dry, and there is no way it could have been dry. Absolute defines the degree of a certain aspect of nature, no matter what it refers to. Absolute does not depend on cause unless it is defining the cause.

No, you just do not make sense in relevance to the English language.

"The Singularity" is seen by some as the end point of our current culture, when the ever-accelerating evolution of technology finally overtakes us and changes everything. It's been represented as everything from the end of all life to the beginning of a utopian age, which you might recognize as the endgames of most other religious beliefs.

Please, define God for us. I have not yet seen a complete and accurate definition...only personal impressions and beliefs.

language is not alphabet as u religious people love to mean for any pretenses of getting ur life too soon
language is sentence articulations able to give a perspective of object thing totally independant to its letters
which prove how language is never supposed to make sense, only facts realities
