From Mathilda
You are making an unfounded assumption that there needs to be a first cause. A first cause has no explanatory power. How did the first cause come about? And if it is eternal then why cannot the universe be eternal? As I explained earlier, what is the first cause of a snow flake?

"...there needs to be a first cause," that is already an over-used party's line; go and read some more but from serious thinkers about first cause.
And I hope you will come to another party's line, as you read further on cause, and bring it up here to confront me with it.
Looks like our problem is not taking our opinions from serious thinkers. Shame on us. Come on guys, we're better than this. It isn't like she is insisting we think for ourselves. She only asks that we cut and past our answers from serious thinkers, you know, the ones she uses herself. Then, if we can point out to her that she has misunderstood her own sources, I'm sure she will agree with us.
So she hasn't been ignoring what we say, she's just waiting for us to confront her properly using authorities that she herself takes seriously. Nothing out of the ordinary here.[/sarcasm]
