DoubtVsFaith Wrote:If something has a cause, the fact that it has a cause implies that it necessarily exists otherwise it couldn't exist to have a cause (just as how the fact that I am conscious ("I think therefore I am") necessarily implies that I exist because if I didn't exist I couldn't exist to be conscious).Ah, I see, you are making quite a common logical mistake:
"Necessarily, if X has a cause then X exists" is not the same proposition as "If X has a cause, then X exists necessarily." In the first case, necessity is a property of the proposition; in the second, it is a property of X's existence.
