How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
#88
RE: How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
I don't see the connection between the argument that everything which begins to exist must have a cause, and god.

Couldn't we just say that a set of laws has always existed. And that all that has always existed interacted to bring about all that exists in our perceptions of reality today?

I mean unless you want to argue for a rhetorical god( a god that could both be conscious or unconscious) the argument is not only not provably sound, but it is provably invalid.
