Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

why would you, though? 

 

I'd say it behaves more like the rationals, no? If you say A causes B, you can (by normal intuition) find an event in between, serving as a link between the two.

 

Let's say, the strictly positive rationals, for example, to fit the "always something before" part, no? Why would that be any less valid?

But you CAN regress infinitly in the rationals. Part of the argument is that contingent beings cannot cause themselves and thus you NEED a necessary being. Making it more akin to a natural numbers row.

why can't there just be an infinite row of events, instead?

 

As described by the strictly (non-zero) positive rationals, for example.
