First Cause

The establishment of First Cause is critical to judaeo-christian concepts and Hinduism. However, according to Buddhism, the time and space is limitless. So first cause seems unnecessary.

In time, there is no beginning or end. In space, there is no limits or boundaries.

The universe is, some would say, finite yet expanding. If it is, what's outside the candy wraps? What's "nothingness"? To me, we are like holding a flashlight in an infinitely large dark room. The area where the light reaches is defined as the known universe or the knowable universe. However, and the universe expands, there is no qualitative difference between the unknowable "nothingness" and the barely knowable edge of the universe. The "nothingness" is simply the potentially knowable universe. Together, the space, which includes the knowable and unknowable universe, is infinite.

Time will go on. There is no "end of the time". Although infinity is a concept difficult for a human mind to fathom or visualize, we accept its existence, as in math where there is no the biggest or the smallest number. So it's reasonable to accept that there is no beginning of the time or space.

Hence, the first cause is irrelevant. In other words, God is irrelevant.
