Why can't there be a cycle of causation for example? We see this the whole time in reality.
Take snowflakes for example. Complex and intricate structures. You could argue that something caused them to exist, but it's actually part of the water cycle given certain conditions. They land, melt, merge into the seas, water evaporates, gets lifted higher until it condenses out into cold air, moves into freezing conditions, comes across dust or pollen nuclei and grows into new snow flakes. Which point is the first cause in that cycle?
