That's your post's most trenchant statement.

Why do people think that using arcane adjectives like a machine gun at the St. Valentine's Day massacre and name-dropping like an allied sortie over the Ruhr is "somehow" an explanation of anything? ... or even the beginning of an explanation?

Wouldn't it be easier to say <i>"We should be able to get causality out of the non-causal ... somehow"</i>. It would still be a bad post but at least you wouldn't seem laughably "puffed" up ;o)

[]APPLAUSE -

Although I think it is rediculous to think the existence of the Universe was the result of cause and effect. Existence is based on a principle - NOT a process. Principles are fundamental, so is existence. Processes are a function of principles much like cause and effect is a function of existence.

Get back to basics if you want to find the truth.
