Justification for exclusion.
Hi, good week, Rabbi Michi.
I wanted to ask you what is the justification for the logical exclusion of God to stop the regression of an endless chain of causes?
Are you using the legal principle of lex speciali here as well?
Forgive me in advance if I’ve answered this before, I tried asking the bot and didn’t get a satisfactory answer.

If we give up the rule that everything must have a cause, then we essentially give up the entire cosmological view?
Or do you mean that only things from our experience need a cause, and then God is the kind of thing that is in our experience.
I ask because unfortunately I see people who don't see a problem with infinite regression, even though it's clear to them that they have no explanation.
I tried to explain to them that it's similar to counting 1,2,3,4... when they have no place to start counting at all.
Is this explanation correct?
Thanks for the quick response.
If you give up this rule then there is no evidence. But every rational person does assume it.
In the first book in the second conversation I explained in detail why infinite regression is a fallacy.
