Hi there, I'm Dr. John White, WebMD's Chief Medical Officer and host of the Health Discovered Podcast, where we bring you fascinating stories and unique perspectives, like our recent episode on how heart failure can particularly affect women in Black and Hispanic communities.

We've documented it time and time again. She was young, she was Black, she was a woman. No one expected her to look like the face of heart failure. When you don't look like what someone expects, that's going to lead to delays in diagnosis.

We all have to take this consolation of symptoms, treat it the same each and every time, whether it's a young person, a Black person, a woman. If someone presents to me with my heart racing and feeling winded, I need to get an echocardiogram 100 of the time, regardless.

Listen to Health Discovered on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Daily Edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

The challenge for today is the challenge of if everything needs a first cause, then where did God come from? Now, many people think that this is an argument that proves that nothing created everything.

In other words, that there was no God because God needs a cause. However, there's a problem in the logic. Okay, first off, what you end up seeing is in philosophy, there is the idea of an uncaused cause.

In other words, there must be something that created everything from nothing. Because there must be something that was before everything. That thing, or person, shall we say, did not have a beginning and does not have an end.

In other words, God did not have a cause. Everything that has a beginning had a cause. However, God had no beginning. Therefore, God had no cause. This is something we have to understand about God, that he is eternal.

He had no beginning and he had no end. The scriptures are clear on this, that he was before the universe was created. Therefore, he did not have a cause because he did not have a beginning. It is a logical fallacy when they try to argue that God must have a beginning because he must be caused.

That's wrong.
