If everything has to come from somewhere, then the first cause of all other things must be an uncaused thing, otherwise we have an infinite recursion of things

If everything has to come from somewhere, then the first cause of all other things must be an uncaused thing, otherwise we have an infinite recursion of things and thus nothing existing at all.
- nullsense 6y agoI reckon it's just an infinite recursion and that we don't really exist. I mean think about it this way - the combined probability of everything happening as it did to lead up to you being exactly who you are is so astronomically small. If something was that unlikely to happen then maybe it didn't.
- majkinetor 6y agoThat is not how probability works. Most improbable things happen, like you being hit by failing airplane, or bacteria surviving inside predator bacteria. It only needs to happen once.
