<Only the most radically doctrinaire atheists would deny that effects MUST have a cause >

"I like this one... HUH!?? It's the mechanistic (stuck in Newton's model) reductionists thast (sic) CLAIM (not deny) you need a cause...

Modern physics states that "things happen when conditions are right". There are "preconditions", but using a larger context no one cause."

First: There is a big difference between a universe with "no one cause" and an uncaused, eternal, physical, universe. Second by definition: an effect is the result of a causal agent. Third: How can there be any preconditions before anything existed to be conditioned in the first place? Do you think the universe is eternal and can you demonstrate that to be the case?
