Well about about this guys metaphysical argument about motion?
It's certainly a nonsensical argument. You can't use the premise that all effects have a cause to claim that there is an effect without a cause.
And yet people have been eating it up it various forms for over 2000 years. In that form for abou 800 years.
To them it makes sense.why.
Confirmation bias is a powerful thing. But is this really an example of the best metaphysics has to offer?
