>The unmoved mover: not necessary, see quasicrystals and other infinite nonrepeating patterns
>The First Cause, same argument
Nanni the fuck? How does the possibility (not the actuality) of nonrepeating patterns disprove the fact that there ought to be a metaphysical first cause that causes all other change?

>Contingency, this is easily disproven with von nuemann machines
Again, what? How? How does the fact we can build self-replicating machines disprove the fact that conditioned reality must ultimately rely on an unconditioned one, lest we find ourselves in a contradiction? Maybe I'm seeing the example of Von Nuemann Machines wrong but there isn't any principle shown by them that isn't already present in self-replicating ... well ... humans.

Is your friend Dawkins or something?
