Minerva, are you getting at the point that the universe has no beginning (or end)? |

Wait. Wouldn't it take a beginning cause to trigger an effect and begin the endless cycle and then stages in the cycle could thus be defined. I could be a retard though. |

Well it does depend a lot on your conception of causality. Perhaps the most widely accepted version of causality in current philosophy is Davidson's events model. Under this model, causality consists of a series of events, an event being [object+property+time+place]. Causality is usually seen as happening through the change of properties. |

Ok, so Minervas you're saying that it is impossible to define something as either a cause or an effect because they are both a cause and an effect at the same time, or that the regression of the causal chain prevents this from happening. eg. a spark can be the cause of a fire, but it is also the effect of a match striking, and being able to pick a definite point is impossible. In effect, there is one continuous event, spanning from the orginal cause. |

SolSkye, with the vast variety of symbolically subjective pictures and videos you post, I'm going to just assume you think all is God. |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
Tally ho old chap... Tally freaking ho... |

Minervas, interesting argument... but I think it might have a problem. |

Alright so you're debating the nature of the relationship between cause and effect. That wasn't very clear. Maybe you should work on your communication skills. And your English skills. |
