"No one, at least me, has ever suggested that. Quite the contrary actually. I've stated that no phenomena exists uncaused (that would suggest inherently existing). I've stated directly opposite to what you are suggesting. I've said countless times that phenomena exist but they're dependent-arising. They're dependent upon countless conditions and causes."

Well, since there can't be an endless regression of causes... I think you just answered your own question.


"Evolution, even does not suggest that. The very essence of evolution suggests everything is dependent-arising (species exist from their environmental and material causes and conditions and manifest over eons of trial and error [thus, quite opposite to 'random'])."

Yep. Again, there ya go.
