Thinking about this again I realized that both scientific and deistic
terms are embeded in human languages. Actually, it is more than terms.
It is the idea of causality.
The question "why" is equivalent to "what
is the cause" of this or that.
We believe that natural events are
interrelated;
this is usually called the cause-and-effect principle
(or idea).
A particular egg came from a particular hen and a
particular hen came from a particular egg. The well known general
question--“what comes first ...--” makes no sense.
Do you agree? Why
should it force us to stop asking the “why” questions?
