The First Cause of the physical universe is causeless, supernatural, transcendent, and eternal. The First Cause of the physical universe can only be described in non-physical terms…because the First Cause is non-physical.

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…
In my last post I began discussing existence by defining the two cardinal rules that govern it – causality and non-contradiction. 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…

Well, I suppose you have to start at the beginning – actually, you’d have to start BEFORE the beginning, because whatever existence is made of, it can only be coherently explained if it adheres to some type of rules that are consistent and irrevocable, otherwise there would be…
