Answer 3

things have either self containedcauses or external

self - contained (def is contained in itself such as a triangle having 3 sides)

external (def is not contained. why did dinasours die out? would have to find explanation)

universe has to be external because we can conceive of universes that do not exist - has diff qualities

concl - to avoid infinite regression has to be made by something but cannot have infinite external reasons, so must be self-contained
