The basic principle of cause and effect. Does it apply to itself? Did someone/something cause causality to come in to effect/being? I was thinking the other day that the existence of an infinite and uncaused God would be possible if there was a time in which causality didn't exist. If God were to always exist, couldn't he have caused causality? This would account for a theistic view of God, namely an infinite, necessary Being.

Cause and effect without the cause and effect? Interesting.

Yeah it is really mind-boggling if you try to think about it.

basicly you are asking the eternal question of "why?"
wich I have no strong opinions on the subject but is one of great interest to me. the only answer i ever came up with is kinda cheasy unless you fully think the subject through.the answer to why is, love. |

Why bother? See, this is why I'm not taking philosophy: I have enough problems trying to sort through my friend's emotional and quite convoluted psyche, I don't need to have to sort through my own. Would answering the problem really change anything? This is possibly a very universal question, meaning it's been prevalent in history throughout time. If a farmer during the Dust Bowl or a slave in Egypt couldn't discern the answer, why should we?

This is the critical thinking section, if you want mindless rabble, go to the garbage bin. If you want to offer constructive opinions, by all means...
