Or were they created from nothingness? or are they the creators? (52:35)
This verse encourages mankind to think about possible origins of their existence. It asks two questions that humanity till today are in general consensus of their obsurdity.
No one believing that the universes could have simply came out of nothingness. Nor does any rational person think that his own soul is the creator of all he sees and hears nor that that humans created this universe. We know we creation were not the origin of this universe.
However more rational questions were not the gist of flow of these verses, but were rather asking us questions that we know are false. However, we then are encouraged to think of what is rationally possible and not absurd.
It's obvious that our bodies are a series of cause and effect. The whole of our body is also an effect. The planet earth is also an effect that has a cause and within this planet, there is many causes and effects.
Now with the notion every effect has a cause, we can say our body has a cause or causes. A series of causes can also be labelled "a cause", just like our bodies which is a series of effects can be called "a effect".
Now many people of concluded due to this fact, there must be at the end, a Cause that has no Causer, and is Uncaused. That is known as the Eternal Creator of the Universe.
Others disagree and have said that a chain of endless cause and effect is just a rational conclusion and one cannot simply infer that there is uncaused Cause to the universe by this.
However if we look at the issue it is obvious that the latter notion is false. We said our bodies were a series of cause and effect, but our whole body can be called an effect as well, and hence needs a cause. The body cannot be said to be self-creating cause with no need, while the whole of it formed of effects. The same can be said about an infinite chain of cause and effect, every single of the infinite chain itself would be an effect, so the whole chain would be an effect. As every effect needs a cause, the whole infinitiate chain is also an effect and in need of a cause.
Hence there needs to a Cause to even that. But if there was Uncaused Cause, it's obviously ration to conclude that then it's not really an infinite chain anymore, but that the that it is limited chain, that begins. However either way, there needs to be Uncaused Causer and Mover to get the universe going.
Some people think it's through observation that we conclude, from nothing, nothing follows. However, this is not the case, rather it's seen as an known knowledge that is not subject to observation. If we saw things appearing apparently out of no where, we would conclude there is a cause. So the fact the universe cannot come from nothing is a fact. As well as that the universe is an effect is a fact, and it's been shown even if a infinite series of cause and effect, it's still an effect. Therefore there is Uncaused Cause to the Universe, and Unmoved mover to the universe.
