[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77664291, member: 412388"] No. One example is simply that. An example of what is being discussed. An example of how two seemingly unconnected events are linked, one literally causing the other. If the universe is determinate then there is no proof available. Just the opportunity to show that any given event [I]is [/I]caused by a prior one. That's it. There is nothing more. But it can be shown to be indeterminate by giving a single example of an event not caused by anything (and again, we can skip quantum mechanics because it operates at a scale many orders of magnitude beneath what we are discussing). You'll have to if you want to address the validity of the claim 'The universe is determinative'. [/QUOTE]
