"We live in the world of cause and effect. There is nothing which is the cause of itself; for then it would have to be prior to itself, which is impossible. Therefore things must be caused by a prior cause. If there were an infinite series of causes, there would be no first cause, and neither would there be an ultimate effect, nor any intermediate causes. Therefore it is necessary to admit a first cause, to which everyone gives the name of God." - St. Thomas Aquinas On The Existence of God
