== Another Example: Who created the creator? ==

Another example of infinite regression is when one asserts that life must have been created, thus requiring a more complex creator. However, for this logic to hold, the creator is a life form which requires another life form to create it. This logic chain continues and causes an infinite regression. One method to stop this infinite regression is to assume that life does not need a creator. This argument is often used against the ideas of [[creationism]] and [[Intellegent Design]].<ref> Richard Dawkins. 2006. The God Delusion.</ref>.

Another method is to assume that the Creator is the First Cause and is the only Entity that is Past-Eternal (and Future-Eternal).
