I guess the first thing I should do is to establish what exactly is meant by `dependency’. If X is dependent on Y then Y is a cause of X’s existence. If X is dependent only on Y then Y is the cause of X’s existence, otherwise the cause of X’s existence is the sum of all the things on which it’s existence depends. I think it is clear that a depended upon thing must exist prior to that which depends upon it and this rules out the option of a thing depending upon only itself for its existence. This leaves only two valid options, if something exists then either it is dependent on something apart from itself for it’s existence or else it is dependent on nothing for it’s existence.
This, I think, establishes the first premise.
Sorry for nitpicking and all… but what, precisely, do you mean by “existence”?
I am so confused about your website i thought i was linking up to a website that was discussing co-dependency i’m really not sure what your’s is about could you explain?.
You obviously found this post via a web search for “dependency”. This site is a blog, which is a little like an online journal. Have a look here for a more detailed explanation of what a blog is. The post you found was about some thoughts of mine regarding an argument in favour of the existence of God, often referred to as the “argument from dependency.” This may not have been what you were looking for.
