first cause
First cause, also known as "prime mover" or "uncaused cause", is a philosophical and theological concept that refers to the initial or original action, condition, or entity that set the sequence or chain of causality into motion. This concept is often used to argue for the existence of God or a supreme being, as this being is considered to be the origin or source of everything else in the universe.
