If something has no cause, does it have a beginning?
If "something" exists - - why would it exist without a cause?
good question. here lies the conundrum.
The ultimate question to our existence.
Can something exist without a cause?

One day I was shopping at the shuk (outdoor market) in Jerusalem and I ran into the old man himself.
The first thing I asked him was the internal Jewish question " Why ? " ( which means why everything )
His response was simple and direct.
" Why not ? " and " Those Pistachios nuts you love so much are on sale three booths farther down."
That was good enough for me.

Something meaning what? I'm getting the feeling this is a Creation question.
I believe everything is energy and evolved from energy.
What is the source of energy?

Here's some philosophy for ya. I'm about 2 beers away from cussing you out and I only have 1 beer left. You said chicken, and others agreed. Others said egg. Others agreed.
So.... Does anyone really know?

But first let me please state this scientific and incontrovertible fact:
Everything that has a beginning has a cause.
So, what's the answer to this simple question:
If something has no cause, does it have a beginning?
What say you?

Allow me to shorten your fact and render the question moot.
Everything has a cause.

oh contraire - "Everything has a cause" is not the final answer. Because if "Everything has a cause" then what 'caused' Everything to exist in the first place?

Scientifically speaking - the chicken.

But, you're not answering the question.
