32. no it's an axiom

something that for this arguments sake is taken to be true. It's up to you to poke holes in this assumption. Which you're trying to do and that's great. That's what debating is all about.

A couple of quick comments. If you give up the principle of causality, you must give up science.

The universe must have begun to exist as one cannot construct an infinite regression of events into the past. It is a necessary conclusion that the universe must have begun to exist. It's also what every scientist will tell you.
