The Uncaused Causer
Language
Intelligence
Random brain activity on sub-atomic level
Events with no cause
Events that cannot be explained. they don't not have causes, but the causes are simply unattainable.
God
The big bang
Standing the same distance from two identical doors which lead to the same place and choosing one of them - no reason to pick - random choice.
Events that don't have causes
Start of the world
Existence
Big Bang - nothing caused it.
Quantum Mechanics proves certain things come into existence without a cause and create themselves.
Miracles
God if religious.
The first thing that ever happened - the Big Bang, everything after that was caused by it.
Religious level - God - came from nowhere.
The idea of imagination.
Quantum Mechanics
Time
God
Life
Nothing - as an entity
Free thinking
When one opens one's eyes in the morning, without the aid of an alarm clock, what causes one to wake up? Why does one wake up at that exact time and not a few seconds before or after? Perhaps there is no cause.
If you like something for no reason. Is it genetic?
What makes personal preference in the first place? Why are the genetics like that in the first place? Is preferring sweet food evolutionary - if so, why?
Perhaps the principle of causality applies within the universe, but not to the universe. This might allow the universe as a whole to be uncaused.
An event doesn't have a cause if it doesn't actually happen and there was never anything that stopped it happening.
[Blank piece of paper]
Coincidence!
Big Bang maybe??
Beginning of God or Time??
What caused the ordinal event, must have been an event with no causes to start the chain.
The occurrence of our dimension.
God - self-existent, self-sufficient (for believers).
There isn't cause and effect, just 2 or more occurrences that our minds link together. (Can't remember which philosopher spoke about the brick and pane of glass), and call cause and effect.
? Renewable energy resources lasting forever eg the mind.
Buddhist monk walking along wall.
Something that you don't know the cause for.
Since you don't know about ergo it doesn't exist.
"The tree falling in the proverbial forest."
ACCIDENTs.
No - because there aren't any.
Inspiration.
Belief in God.
NOTHINGNESS.
The Creation of the world.
Electrons have been found to come into existence for apparently no reason.
A self causing singularity.
Spontaneous human combustion.
The ultimate cause must be sufficient to cause itself. Otherwise infinite regression!
Love?
The first ever event.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
God is a paradox. (He) must have both had a cause and not had a cause.
Aristotle's uncaused cause(?)
Wholly simple God - is not contingent - transcendent - out of time and space.
Miracles - spontaneous occurrences.
Science - the creation of matter/energy.
Creation of the universe.
The Universe
Time
Chicken and Egg
Destiny
Spontaneous combustion
Crying when you are born
Creation
Falling in love
Big Bang
God
Spontaneous human combustion
When a person dies, what has changed in their body to make it die when moments earlier it lived? So does death have a cause?
