God As Grounding Cause

RE: God As Grounding Cause
(May 24, 2018 at 2:00 am)robvalue Wrote: Why can't all of reality have popped into existence for no reason at all? Or does "no reason" itself qualify as a cause?

Why can't there be an infinite regression of causes?

(Claims that things can't happen because they don't make sense to us is not sufficient; reality does not require us to understand it. Neither does it have to globally conform to models based on our local observations.)

Why can't 2 + 2 be equal to 5?
