New Athiest Needs Help

[Mystic]

Are you reading a different definition of "Infinite chain of events" than everyone else?

No think about it. Each part of the infinite chain requires a cause. Within the infinite chain, you will have infinite chains that have infinite chains that are the cause of other infinite chains. Still all those infinite chains still require a cause.

It can be said a chain of effects is an effect. Therefore an infinite chain of effects is also an effect. Therefore it would require a cause as well.

I think it can be argued such knowledge ought to come from God, so us having that very knowledge would be a proof of God.

How so?

There is no way to know it otherwise. It would at best a good guess based on what we observed so far. But to know for certain that things can't just pop out of nothing as ontological fact of reality, such that, if you saw something appear in the sky and fall down, you would not assume nothing caused it to come into being but in fact know for certain it has a cause, then it requires to be given that in an absolute way.
