Cause and Effect Reality Check.

Hi Everyone,

A Hunter carelessly dropped a lighted match on a Forest floor after lighting his cigarette. The raging fire caused by the match resulted in three hundred acres of vegetation to be destroyed.

In your opinion of cause and effect which one is greater or more powerful, the match or the forest fire?

I have sought the views of many people regarding the above question and received numerous answers, some folks just couldn't think of an answer.

I am of the view that neither of them is greater or more powerful because they are one and the same, which most people agreed with.

As far as God and Man are concerned, if God is the cause (which we are sure of) and we are the effects then why does man think of himself as a separate, inferior entity?

I hold the view that most of us have not been taught to think in this particular way. What's yours?

Regards,
Courtney.

    Each case is different, but overall i feel that the effect is more powerful. A cause is like a little spark in a room filled with gas, with the effect being this incredibly powerful explosion. One little event can cause the effect of a revolution.

    Haven't you got that question the wrong way round. Doesn't man think of himself as equal to if not superior to God. Isn't it man who has destroyed God's gift of nature to invent everything artificial as a way of proving it? Even the food we eat now is subjected to man's interference and genetic manipulation.

    Poor God, if only man could see the truth he wouldn't start the fires and would never have invented matches.
