It means everything and everybody you experience has a prior cause.
Apples, apple trees, Apple seeds, Apple trees, apples etc etc.
Pixie, Pixies parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc etc.
Thanks :-). I think we have been through this before, though... and mostly people think there is a cause. Except from you, who thinks that God just always existed without a cause? X
But theland, most people seem to accept there is a cause already. You are the only person on here, that claims something already existed without a cause. So, I don't understand why you are trying to persuade other people of something that they already believe, but you don't?
(A)\\ There has to be a first cause, otherwise we are faced with infinite regression.//
(B)\\ God has his own cause for existence beyond and outside of things created.//
A cancels B.
That is totally unreasonable, theland.
Anyone could equally claim that the universe 'simply is'. What is your evidence that God has always just... existed?
Yes theland, I have my own opinion, which is- I don't know. Nothing has persuaded me enough in any way to "know". Nobody knows anyway..... if they did, they would have the proof enough to convince everyone else.
