One of the more common arguments I have seen is an argument from 'cause and effect'.
Now, it is interesting that there is a claim that this is the foundation of science even though in taking up to PhD level physics courses, this 'law' is never invoked or even mentioned. It certainly is never explicitly stated.
So, what is the 'law of cause and effect'?
What does it mean to be a 'cause'?
What does it mean to be an 'effect'?
Yes, I have looked at dictionary definitions, but they are all lacking in describing exactly what the connection is supposed to be between 'causes' and 'effects'.
