Such is an argument for the fact of there never having been nothing, or equivalently that there was always something. from one viewpoint, it is possibly evidence that the universe is infinite; from another, it could just be meaningless if there is no cause needed, and as many have put it, "stuff just happens".

However, the fact of a beginning is inherent in whether there was nothing or if "it" is infinite. When there was nothing and now something, then there must have been beginning; when infinite, there was no beginning. Both rely on an assumption, as neither can be proved entirely true or false, and so asking whether there was a beginning really depends on what you assume or show.

What is eternal return based on the novel the unbearable lightness of being?

the premise that something can not come from nothing or being from non being is the basis for eternal return. For anything to exist something must have always been. This first cause or unmoved mover having no beginning could not create anything that would not be as eternal as itself. Time and being itself are circular and being which is really the act of becoming, because nothing is static, can only be eternal since it comes from a first cause that is eternal. In essence everything, including ourselves, has always existed and always will. I wrote this and will write this forever. john@seatechcorp.com


How does the big bang theory challenge the first cause argument?

AnswerThe First Cause Argument is a process of logic that says that everything must have a cause, and lke links in a chain, every cause must have a prior cause. The argument is that God is the first cause, although the same argument could apply equally to any other god. This argument also means that the one exception is that God does not need a prior cause.Scientific theories about the ultimate origin of the universe are collectively associated with the "big bang" event that essentially started it. The position now is that God no longer need be the first cause, because we have a natural explanation for the beginning of the universe. However, that does not eliminate a first cause - it simply means we have a natural first cause rather than a supernatural one.The big bang theory challenges the theological assumption that God was the first cause, but it does not mean there was no first cause. The first cause was a natural event.

There is nothing stating what a cause variable is. A casual relation between two events exists if the occurrence of the first event causes the outcome of the other. This is also known as cause and effect.
