"Everything has a cause and an explanation" discussion.

RE: "Everything has a cause and an explanation" discussion.

2) of those things, a cause is a rudimentary part of any explanatory theory and it too is subject to being shown false.
That's why I'm skeptical of arguments from the best explanation used to support the existence of a god. The point that an explanation can be wrong is lost on apologists.
