[split] Critical Thinking Skills

If we go by the premise

"everything requires a cause for existence"

It would imply at least one thing is the cause of it's own existence. Cause is not necessarily linear.

The premise is self-contradicting, unless we agree that something need not exist in order to cause something else to exist. In which case, universe!

Not necessarily. If cause precedes effect, then this is true. But if the super natural created must cause itself to exist by it's own power constantly and everything else needs to be caused as well (like atoms can't exist on their own), then there is no contradiction.
