yes, now to handle possible option, we have to tackle one by one,
supposely the position we called "x", and:
if there is NO NEW creation at that point “x” => then there can be always traced back from "x" position to the current position right? current position to be considered you or me

@AlbertEinstein1905:
Well suppose you took “x” as somewhere close to 500 BCE
Then yeah between x and the current position there has been no creation.
And let’s be clear here.....by creation we mean the universal creation , right ?
The creation that happens after the destr...

yes, the creation that creates the "x" — before the "x", before 500 bce
@AlbertEinstein1905 :
Well there still was a universe.
Um if you're talking about the very first point of creation, well that's unknown.

"x" may be represented as the sequence of anything. if we put "x" as part of the sequence of humanity, then going back to previous sequence may be considered finding the relevant creations (although not always be like that), it's to simplifying understanding, so that we can see t...

this is it, great
supposely we admit there is a chance for a NEW creation at the farthest point we may have (as previous example, point "x"), then there will be an "y" as a NEW creation

doing so, will lead to the fact that , since x(n) created by x , and y was created/came from x, therefore there is the end point, it’s the x (the first cause)
@AlbertEinstein1905:
Ah....creation at x(n) is caused by “x”, and we had assumed in the beginning that x was ...

so since those are the new ones, then we can say there are the causes at the opposite direction

I don’t accept the final argument, “the consequence of infinity”. Preferably The First must be found not because of the absurdity of infinite regression, but because axiomatically there is no infinite regression. There is only finite chain of causation.

@AlbertEinstein1905 :
Um maybe not.
Some theories say it's like a loop that'll happen again and again, I mean there would happen something that would totally destroy everything and then again another big bang would create another universe again.
And this loop may go on forever

@AlbertEinstein1905 :
Okay so you mean:
if there is a universe x then it’s cause is the universe or anything that was before it.
@AlbertEinstein1905 :
Um there would be a previous thing, but as no creation happened so it wouldn’t have that many differences.
The diffe...

Pyrrho is considered the first Skeptic philosopher. He thought we waste so much time and effort demanding solutions where there's only doubt that we're destined to be unhappy.
Instead, he thought we ought to adopt a position of suspended judgement,...
It’s tempting to think that all the good ideas must be taken by now and that there is no possible way to make any new positive contribution.
