    It is not the case that Violent motion and rest away from natural place require continuous causal sustenance, so persistence of non-natural states demands ongoing external explanation.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Newton's first law shows objects maintain uniform motion without force, contradicting the claim that non-natural states require continuous causation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Conservation laws explain persistence of motion and energy without external intervention, making continuous causal sustenance unnecessary.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The distinction between 'natural' and 'non-natural' places is geocentric and arbitrary; inertia explains state persistence universally without appeal to causation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Objects at rest naturally remain at rest; motion requires force application, demonstrating that non-natural states need external causation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Systems isolated from external forces eventually return to equilibrium, showing unnatural configurations require continuous external maintenance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Energy dissipates through friction and resistance unless replenished, proving sustained deviation from natural states demands ongoing energy input.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
