Yeah, a proof of god is going to happen here on AF........
This religion shit combines the worst parts of us. A person who considers themselves to be a lowly human worm in comparison to the almighty simultaneously believes that they've cracked open the cosmos with their brilliance...and an immensely powerful god deadset on hiding came dripping out of the newly christened orifice.
Clearly, I can't arrive at an answer by reference to reason, and neither can you. That's the -actual- problem of infinite regress. It's a problem for a conclusion generating system, not a problem for me or the universe, or cause. If a conclusion generating system is incapable of generating a conclusion, an infinite regress, either the system or the propositions are failures. Which do you think it is, in this case? Has logic failed, or have our malformed propositions tanked us?
I don't believe your "just-so" statement. How will you convince me?

Quote:Oh, a causation problem. Who caused the causer?That's a problem for logic, an inability to arrive at a reliable conclusion given the rules with the propositions on offer...not a problem for me. -I don't know- what, let alone who (kind of silly to slip in a who before we've even established a what or an if, huh?) "caused the causer".

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!
