Infinite Regression
Question
Hello
Infinite regression is a logical problem. How does the fact that we say the first cause is something of a type unfamiliar to us solve the problem in terms of logic?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. The statement that the first cause does not require a prior cause is itself the solution to the infinite regression.
But that cause that created everything has to have existed forever, and that is something we cannot grasp as possible with our minds.
