Re: Layers of Causality

I am not, first off, talking about the Christian Creator God. In the OP, yes, but in these recent posts on causal agent/s I have said that 'God' is one name of many for the Uncaused. We've embellished, sure, but at the core of the belief in God is the belief that there must have been something uncaused to avoid the infinite regression Grizz spoke of.
Seen that one before: Cosmological argument - Wikipedia
It would be interesting if the uncaused cause became the equivalent of Zeno's argument that motion can't exist (see: http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s3-07/3-07.htm.) If ol' Zeno had examined his argument in a less dogmatic manner and discovered calculus as a result , I'd be orbiting Altair right now telling people astrology charts concerning the position of Mars or Saturn simply lack relevance.
