oOne of our earliest experiences in life is that of cause and effect.
oA baby playing with its toys in a playpen is getting direct, hands-on experience
of cause & effect.
oThe existence of causes (of which none is known to be 100% efficient in energy
transfer) implies the existence of a cause or
causes of infinite energy at an infinite time in the
past.
oThis is consistent with an infinite, eternal First Cause but not with an infinite,
eternal universe.
