cause--that which creates an effect.
effect--that which is a result of a cause.
Would your defintion of cause and effect be considered an example of circular reasoning?

NO, it's just a definition. No reasoning involved.
My apologies. I just meant it as a question to better understand your position. Perhaps, I should have mentioned that in my earlier post.
Anyway, this topic is far superior to any of my intellectual capabilites. I'll shut up, now.

Thanks Par.
But I must admit, I would be lying if I said my mind was not twisted and contorted into a pretzel from reading this thread: cause and effect relationship at work.

I take it your mind-pretzelization is satisfactory?
More than satisfactory, I would say.
Chiroptera brought up cavediver's post about humans' three-dimensional perceptions being applied to a four-dimensional universe (at least that is what I think he said). A great read.
Another post I found most intriguing was, I think, lfen's post of a universal equilibrium, in which movement is inextricably attached to time and space. Sound's similar to Schrodinger's cat.
Anywho, this thread has been a real pleasure.
