How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
#23
RE: How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
It may as well say this:

Everything needs a cause, except God.
Therefor God caused everything else ultimately.

It's simultaneously special pleading and begging the question, just defining your answer to fit an otherwise impossible scenario you claim is the case.

The problem is, there is no paradox with an infinite past. Not one you've been able to explain to me in any way that makes sense anyhow.

But please do get another opinion. I don't have access to anyone particular. I don't expect anyone to take my word for it. Ask them about infinite past paradox and special pleading.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
