The universe just is that way because it is. THAT is the root cause.

The universe just is that way because it is. THAT is the root cause.
- lo_zamoyski 1y agoThat's not a cause. That's a tautological assertion that obscured by the use of the word "because".
- adastra22 1y agoAnd you have an implied axiomatic assertion that everything must have a cause, even though that necessarily results in an infinite recursion of cause-finding.
- lo_zamoyski 1y agoNowhere did I say or imply everything needs a cause. That's your baggage. In fact, it is the exact opposite: that because an infinite regress is incoherent and impossible, there must be some necessary uncaused cause where the buck stops. "The universe" cannot be that cause, as the universe and everything in it is contingent.
