The Law of Causality

     This is a fancy way of saying that every limited thing is caused by something other than itself. Those who do not believe in God use this law as if everything must have some source. This definition places God in the Law of Causality. Who created God?
     BUT, God is infinite. The Law of Causality says that everything that is finite and limited requires a cause. Things that have a beginning require a cause. Including God in the Law of Causality logically makes a category error. It is like confusing vision and touch. How does a sunset feel? does not mean anything. Limited, finite things need a cause. They started, and came into existence. ( Geisler & Bocchino)
     Time isn't infinite; the beginning of time needs an explaination. Nothing that is limited to time is is able to cause the universe. The definition of time is "a nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future." By definition time is that area whare cause and effect occur, and every effect must have a cause. (Heeren) An infinite being ( God ) is not confined by time and He does not require a beginning.  An infinite being mus always exist, and does not need a "cause".  (Geisler and Bocchino)
      Our skeptic may say that God is not necessary.
" If the existence of the cosmos as a whole needs to be explained, and if it cannot be explained by natural causes then we must look to the existence and action of a supernatural cause for its explaination" Mortimer Adler

Using the Law of Causality we can sum it up this way.
1. What ever begins to exist must have a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
3. The universe has a cause.

For the universe to be here, we have four possibilities: Illusion, Self created, Self-existent, and Created by something self-existent.
1. Illusion is "misleading perception of reality". Misrepresenting what is real. If we did not have objective reality for a comparison, we would not know what is real.
2. Self-Created violates the law of causality because we have an effect without a cause.  It also violates one of the fundamental laws of logic: the law of non-contradiction, meaning something cannot be true and not true at the same time and in the same relationship. If I created myself, I exercised causal power on myself before I existed.
3.Self Existent/Eternal Whatever begins to exist has a cause. More on the Evidence the the Universe began to exist tomorrow.
