English term or phrase: First Cause
Am intalnit sintagma intr-un comentariu biblic, cu referire la faptul ca orice efect are o cauza,iar intreaga lume este de fapt un efect al acestei First Cause (Dumnezeu).

'There has to be a primary Cause of all creation. Any cause great enough to produce our universe is great enough to be called God. (...) So, the First Cause must have intelligence, because our universe has intelligent order in it, and intelligent beings in it.'

O alta varianta la care ma gandeam ar fi \"cauza primordiala\", dar nu am gasit nici un link relevant.

Explanation:
Sper sa te lumineze un pic.
First Cause
The first cause is demiurgic, the originating principle or root-impulse unfolding a universe or some portion of a universe. By the very fact of individualized activity it must be finite, however immense, not infinite or eternal. If the universe is a chain of causation in which each link is the effect of a precedent cause, then if there is no first cause there can be no effects, and the principle of causality disappears altogether. Infinity has no first cause but is the all-fecund womb of literally infinite numbers of productive demiurgic first causes. We can therefore but recognize the necessary limits of human conceptual power, and postulate a causeless cause: parabrahman or what the Vedic sages called tad or tat (that).
