answer me... tackle the argument. How do u, as an atheist, account for an empirically evident chain of causation, which, not only describes a feature of existence, but also its bylaws, so that what exists is causal and only exists in so far that it is causal, that uncaused things cannot be referred to as existent, and that all existent things have a cause, that they exist -because- they have a cause. How do you, as a good, reasonably skeptical, minimum high school educated individual, account for a universe, a reality, a plane of existence, which is causally dependent, and which dependency extends all the way back to the beginning, or first cause? Answer me. Did the universe exist forever? If it existed forever, then there must be other things that existed forever, since the universe, for it to exist at all, must be comprised of something. And that something, or somethings, would still be existent today. And if the universe was only comprised of -one- thing until very recently, would u not call this one thing god? How can the universe exist forever, yet have no eternal features whatsoever, no substance that exists forever. How can something have no beginning, but an end?
