I am a simpleton. Can you please help me see the contradiction which YOU see in the following two propositions?
1) If there ever was a moment in which no thing whatsoever existed, then no thing whatsoever will ever exist.
2) Some existing thing caused the existence of all other existing things.
You say there is a contradiction, and that both cannot be true at the same time. Can you help me out? I don't see the contradiction.
Not exactly a contradiction, but problem with premise 2 is that it's not the only possibility. It could be several things that have always existed.
