Infinite regress

[CaptainWacky]

All the way back to the Big Bang.

 

[Cassie]

Then start all over again?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Could be, could be.

This thread makes little sense (he says in the Mine Field). How can one have infinite regress and then have a clause that has no apparent causation such as The Big Bang?

Isn't that a cop out and an argument for God or a beginningless existence?

The very idea of uncaused causation and infinite regress is nonsensical!

And since we're moving forward through linear time and cause-and-effect is growing along the causal lines it makes the concept of infinite regress an even more logically flawed supposition.

Hello Mentalist!!

 

[Mentalist]

Hello Tom, me old Trachtenberg stalker-bot!

 

[CaptainWacky]

I didn't say which Big Bang.

 

[Mentalist]

Oh.

Still, an event without cause, no matter what it is, would unravel the very concept of Infinite Regress.

 

[whisky]

Regress, Ive had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

 

[Mentalist]

I could go for an Infinite Cress sandwich.

 

[whisky]

With a mobious strip of cheese

 

[CaptainWacky]

We're probably all in a computer program anyway!

 

[Cassie]

This is a rerun!

What network would we be on...

I suspect it would be the CW.
