Sorry??? Certain reactions appear to consistently follow certain actions. Gee, seems like a good reason to me.

They have to use the law of cause and effect because that's the way the world works.
Lol.... no kidding. But somehow, only Christians understand this? That's silly.

But they may not understand why there is a law of cause and effect because their philosophy contradicts it or doesn't attempt to explain it.
Why? "God poofed it into existence" does not tell us why. Statements like that are vacuous, and that is the only "why" I can think of that Christianity can give. Besides, nearly every religion has a "< insert deity > poofed it into existence" clause. Hence, any religion can answer 'why' in the same manner.
I can't see any argument here besides "Its that way 'cause my religion is right." Sorry. I am not impressed.
You don't really know much about Chinese religion or Chinese science or culture do you? Come on, 'fess up.
