This is merely an attempt to address the notion that infinite regress is impossible. Is it?
The First Cause is a contradiction to the argument of "everything has a cause". You designed the argument with "everything that begins". But everything that is, whether material or immaterial begs a beginning? If you allow for something to be uncaused, why choose God? Why can't the universe be the uncaused non-contingent being?
At least we know that it exists.
In addition to the Aquinas argument, you must also show:
- The First cause is either personal or mechanical.
- The First cause is not mechanical.
- Therefore, the first cause must be personal
(Universe vs. God)
