David Hume did not believe in cause and effect. In retrospect I tend to agree. Instead there is a continuum or field with apparent plurality within it's monism
The universal field is thought by physics to have been unified at some early stage. The entire field is itself contingent and emergent from eternity. The temporal order is a phenomenon that could be compared to the trough of a sinusoidal wave plunging from eternal timelessness briefly into time.
Proximal causes are never unary or monopolar even if they could be reduced to a singularity...they would always be part of a complex of compresent events in spacetime. God can provide an ostensible order in Genesis yet for the eternal and omniscient can there even really be more than subjective arrow-of-time-for-others as might be said to present to sentient beings within his temporal creation.
