In this age of progressive scepticism, some scientists and philosophers have expressed scepticism concerning the Causal Principle - 'whatever begins to exist has a cause’ In particular, they have objected that, even if the Causal Principle applies to things within the universe, it might not apply to the universe entirely or it may not hold with respect to the beginning of the universe.

Brief History | Academic Studies | Significant Differences | Conclusion | The Islamic Justification   The Frankenstein of Femininity Introduction Feminism, a woman-centered discourse that calls for social, economic, and political equality regardless of gender, has a long and rich history in the United States. Born out of the lived reality of unfair gender-based treatment, feminism has resulted in a robust corpus of sophisticated theorizing and valiant legacy of tactical activism. Feminism has evolved over the last century and a half from inhabiting the fringes of society to the very center of sociopolitical norms. In liberal spaces, it is politically incorrect and socially unacceptable not to identify with feminist aims. In its present forms, liberal feminist practices require approval or agreement to a number of premises, including but not limited to: Social, economic, and political equality for all genders; That there are more than two genders; genders are not necessarily l
