A Necessary Being?

[robvalue]

The only alternative to having a first member is an impossible infinite regress.

What makes an uncaused first member more possible than an infinite regress?

Exactly, yes. People like to assert, "There can't be an infinite regress."

Why not? Because you say so? Because it doesn't make sense to you?"

The best they can do is extrapolate from local observations into the unknown, which is unrealiable, and then they commit the fallacy of composition as they try and apply it to reality itself.

It shows some people cannot accept the limits of our investigation.
