Is "Cause and Effect" Scientific?
|
As a Universalist after the Order of Melchizedek, i have my own ontological absolutes.
However, I'm not here to convince anyone of my ideology. I would like to see how the intelligentsia of this forum responds to the heading. This OP is dedicated to my cat, Kiddy.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t.

Your second question is also not answerable as written. I’m starting to think you don’t really understand causality. Boru

When it comes to abstraction, I prefer to restrict it to my fiction writing.

QM shows that sometimes things don't happen for Causes™. But that realm is so small that the assumption that things have causes is probably solid on a day-by-day basis.

I get the feeling that the OP/this thread will get around to the first cause being a supernatural, outside of reality, can't have infinite regression, creator creature.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Atomic decay and virtual particles don't seem to have causes, so I'd say no; but on a human scale and up, yes; with the caveat that cause and effect are things we observe withing the universe and may not apply to how/why the universe began, if it really did.

Seems so, and trivially so, even. We can observe, form hypotheses, test those hypotheses, and share the results. This is how we know, for example..that rain is in fact caused by local condensation. A question that seems equally trivial to us today but was once believed to have something to do with satisfying the right set of ghosts by one or another novel set of metrics. Also testable, and provably false.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
