Today in class we talked a lot about what powers the universe. This is a question that philosophers have been asking for centuries. Aristotle believed that caused power the universe, and when I heard that I had no idea what that meant. But think about it, if nothing caused something to be set in motion than there would be nothing to happen at all. Some believe that God is reason for the things that happen in the universe, but Aristotle didn't really believe in a God that could make everything in motion. We can't prove the existence the existence of a God, but we can prove effect that happen based on cause and effect. One of the most known back and forth questions using this effect is the question, "What happened first, the chicken or the egg?" Somehow this question came up in class and it helped make sense of what we were talking about.
