All right, I’m (finally) ready to identify the First Cause of existence. Lets begin with a recap. Information is transcendent and time-less, and can have a dramatic affect of the physical world. Principles are the first cause of information. Principles are qualitative (subjective) and quantitative (objective) values. The First Cause of existence must consist of…

The First Cause of the physical universe can only be described in non-physical terms…because the First Cause is non-physical. This shouldn’t actually be all that surprising, because when contemplating the answer to “What’s the point?” (the question that started this whole thing),…
So here’s where we are – we know that existence exists, and we know that one of the cardinal rules of existence is causality. We also know through the rules of causality that the finite universe in which we live had to have a First Cause (a cause without a preceding event). And we know…
NERD ALERT!! The following post discusses themes that fascinate science geeks such as myself, but may bore, annoy, anger, or give migraines to normal well-adjusted people. Proceed with caution. We’ve established Causality as a cardinal governing force of existence. Causality states that every effect has a cause, and that cause is independent of and greater…

The rule of non-contradiction simply states that contradictions cannot exist; something cannot be AND not be at the same time. Existence can’t exist and not exist. So since we know existence exists, we can…
