1)If cause and effect is absolute what is at the beginning or causes the first event.


You keep missing an important item about cause and effect.
A cause will lead to an effect,
but an effect does not necessarily have a cause.
The process is not reversible.

That is the nature of the future, and why it differs from the past.
