Causation Quote by Hugh Ross
“Not one example of significant self-generation or self-organization can be found in the entire realm of nature… Without causation, nothing happens and without organization by an intelligent being, systems tend to lower and lower levels of complexity.”
About This Quote
Source Book: The Creator and the Cosmos, Hugh Ross, 1999
Nature lacks examples of self‑generated complexity without an intelligent organizer; causation alone doesn’t increase complexity.
In simple terms: Complex systems need an intelligent organizer, not just cause.

Seek purposeful design in complexity.
