Abstract

There is a philosophical axiom which asserts, that all things must have their physical, adequate proportional cause. This wonderful world of ours with its wonderful beauty, with its physical laws, with its chemical properties has also its cause. Today's and yesterday's pseudo-scientists were striving to prove that this wonderful universe came into existence without a proportionate, physical and adequate cause, assuming that evolution or chance was its cause. They have met obstinate opposition, their theories were considered as imaginations and today they are covered with oblivion. And as all things have their causes in the physical world, so too in the field of history. The records of history and the philosophy of history show that there was no single historical occurrence which did not happen under the influence of some cause or causes.
