"Things either exist or they don't. If everything were like this, it would be possible for everything to exist at the same time, and then there would be no creation and destruction. So everything originates from something, and since it cannot go to infinity, a first origin must be assumed.

Things either exist or they don't. If everything were like this, it would be possible for everything to exist at the same time, and then there would be no creation and destruction. So everything originates from something, and since it cannot go to infinity, a first origin must be assumed.
""A dolgok vagy léteznek, vagy nem. Ha minden ilyen lenne, akkor lehetne, hogy egyszerre legyen minden, és akkor nem lenne keletkezés és pusztulás. Tehát minden valamiből ered, és mivel ez nem mehet a végtelenségig, fel kell tételezni egy első eredetet."
