I'm not saying that ''we understand everything'' - I'm not saying anything. It's a question. I am asking you to explain your own rules and principles; that 'everything that exists (detectable) must have a beginning and a cause' in relation to an initial beginning, the first cause.
I am talking about the impossibility of real completed infinities.
It is a subject that stands on it's own.
Bringing in some conversation from left field about causes is a distraction.
It is not in any way a demonstration that a real completed infinity is possible.
Try to stick to the matter at hand. Your diversions are a totally different topic.
It's not that I am diverting but that you are avoiding problems that are being raised. I am asking you to explain the problem of infinite regression if, as you claim, everything that exists (detectable) must have a beginning and a cause, which in turn must have a beginning and a cause, ad infinitum. This being a major flaw in your proposition.
It is not a problem.
It is a necessity.
How it occurred is merely an unknown. It involves an existence unlike the one we are trapped in.
There are many many unknowns.
Basically you're saying the existence we are in is the only possible kind of existence.
