The Principle of Contingent Causation: The Impossibility of Infinite Regress.

Yes, I am assuming that. Natural Numbers are Numbers that exist in Nature. How can there be being -3 (the -3rd being in existence) for e.g? There can be First Being in existence, 2nd Being in existence, and so on. And also, regarding 0, unless you want to say "there are 0 Elephants in the locker" is a meaningful statement, 0 would not be a natural number; certainly there is no such thing as a "zeroth being".

Have you never dug a hole (which we know exists in nature)? Consider the starting point before digging as zero. Then start digging and pile the dirt from the hole into one spot. The pile becomes the positive (expansion), the hole becomes the negative (regression). So the surface of the ground is zero and has infinite space/time on either side. The more you pile up adds to infinite expansion. The more you take out is infinite regression. This can go on forever. Yet the never ending bottom of the hole exists. So the possibility of infinite regression can exist, which does not help tommies claim that infinite regression can't exist. Tommies argument comes from a presupposition that there is a god, which in itself is at best an assumption/assertion used to validate his personal belief/faith.

I've made this as simple as I can for you. Infinite expansion and regression are two sides on the same coin. Let me know if you actually understand.
