Does every event have a cause?

And if every event has a caused, then what caused the big bang? What was the cause if the first cause. My intuitions tell me that if the universe and time are infinite then there was no first cause, therefore events dont have causes. As the Hindus say events just arise and the narrative part of our mind claims to see causes.

The Stoic philosophers were firm believers that the entire cosmos is interconnected in a vast causal nexus that they termed the Logos. This Logos, or universal Reason/Law, governs all activity whether on earth or in the heavens through unbreakable chains of cause and effect. No event can happen randomly outside of this orderly sequence.

The Stoics argued that if one could hypothetically possess a “God’s-eye view” of all causality in the universe, one would see that events we normally deem accidents or chance occurrences actually have long, interlinked chains of causes behind them stretching back before they happened.

For example, consider a rock slide that crushes a house in its path. We might be inclined to call this bad luck or random chance from our limited view. But the Stoic would say if we traced the causal history fully, we’d see the slide resulted from gradual loosening of the rocks due to decades of weathering, which resulted from preexisting fissures combined…
