On Time and Physico-Theological Evidence

asked 5 months ago

Hello Rabbi,
I apologize in advance if I’m asking a question that has already been asked (I tried very hard to search before) and if I’m asking in a slightly retarded way. Unfortunately, it’s very difficult for me to read and I’m ignorant and uneducated, but on the other hand, I can’t help but be interested in the very interesting topics discussed here.
If I understood correctly, the Rabbi claims regarding the question of the cause of the Creator Himself that one can say a certain “exception” and perhaps also use the problem of anosophical regression as a necessity itself (I’m probably not phrasing it correctly, but that’s roughly what I understood).
And I wanted to ask, is it not correct to say that since time itself also exists and needs a cause, then necessarily its cause has no cause, because this cause is necessarily in a stage before the existence of time, and in any case it is not appropriate for there to be anything before it (because before and after is only in an environment where there is time), and a cause should be before the effect?
 
Thank you very much in advance!
Benjamin

If time is something that exists, then yes. Its cause could be God, who also created it. And if it is just a way for us to describe reality, then it does not exist and there is no need for it to have a cause.
