This is not to say God does or does not exist. Just because our conciousness is unable to envision "The Before" of everything, it doesn't mean it did not exist. The same can be said for "Forever"
Now I wish to be proven incorrect.
To begin proving my idea incorrect could someone please inform the class whether Human Conciousness both in its physical and holistic manifestations can "think" in any terms other than "Cause" and "Effect".

Are you actually saying that human consciousness IS the conceptual understanding of cause and effect? I perceive a computer screen. Are you saying that somehow this perception is a result of understanding cause an effect, that without this understanding no perception is possible?
