Hume Page 16

"All reasonings concerning matter of fact seem to be founded on the relation of Cause and Effect. By means of that relation alone we can go beyond the evidence of our memory and senses."


I agree with Hume 100% here. I feel that we can go way beyond what is in our minds. There is so much that a person can physically and mentally do without being able to explain it. I do not think that we always have to have a cause and effect, I think we can easily have an effect with no cause for doing that effect.

I disagree that we can have an effect without a cause. I believe everything happens as a result of something else; life is a chain reacion. I also think that the causes can be unknown to us. I believe that everything in life happens for a reason, so if we don't know that reason, God does.
