CERTAINTY AND UNCERTAINTY

The "causes" that exist in nature and the universe in general are processes, and are not intentions, either by an all powerful god or by the events in nature. For all causes to be certain, all its aims would have to be certain, but the aims of energy, space, and processes are not aims-in-itself, they are simply processes from non explainable facts. Causes in energy and space are uncertain and groundless, whereas aims are not in most cases, aims are usually progressive and harmonious, some aims are groundless because causes are. Causes in energy and space are uncertain because they are processes rather than intentional causes, only an intentional cause can be certain, and be explained with certainty. If all the aims that make up a cause are known, then you can know for certain of how it causes things in a certain way as a cause. As i have mentioned already, the causes of processes in energy, space, and reality are uncertain, and they appear to have always existed, whereas the processes themselves have spontaneous order and can be explained by the laws of complexity. Seeing as though there is no ultimate aim to processes in reality and biological life implies that the processes of reality and existence are more important than the aims which are simply progressive and harmonious. All intentional certainty in nature is basically a build-up resulting from the events of processes that have occured in nature generally prior to the certainty that we are speaking of at any given point in time, but the more one traces back the certainty of causes for each event the more gradually they become uncertain and seem groundless as causes, and this is only because our knowledge is limited. Energy and space have always existed; and causes are the result of processes and cycles in nature that go from groundless and irrational, to arational, to rational and progressive, and then become refined, and then go back to a groundless and basic state again, and then continue because energy and space is infinite in all its processes. There is no beginning, and there is no end to processes in energy and space, processes simply continue from a sort of uncertain and groundless existence in energy and just continue and go on and work themselves out indefinitely, this is why humans have concepts like eternity, and infinity, because we intuitively feel these things in our very being as part of the universe and things in general, humans sometimes make the mistake of thinking that their existence is eternal because it is part of energy and space, but this is merely wishful thinking, and our existence is not eternal in any way, it is finite in space and time, and it is only the energy that we consist of and the space that we occupy that is eternal and is part of the infinite. A lot of processes begin and then die out or fail, this occurs all the time in nature, any process which is an extension of other processes, or you could say a microcosom of much more greater processes can be said to have a beginning and an end, but ultimate processes do not have a beginning or an end. Certainty is temporary, and limited, and intentional in most cases, and therefore has its limits in most situations. As society and civilization progresses more a feeling of certainty is aquired by people in general because knowledge has the ability of reducing the doubts we have about things. Ultimate causes and aims will always remain uncertain and cannot be understood fully seeing as how one thing cannot exist without another anyway, certainty only exists because uncertainty existed before it in the chain of events, and vice versa.
