Hello Ham,

Can you provide proofs for your premises?   

Citing "classical philosophy" is an argument  from authority.  Is there a 
proof for the premise, 'ex nihilo nihil fit'?  Or is it true because the Ancient 
Greeks thought so? 

Please explain your "empirical precept for 'first cause'"? 

With all respect to Sir Doktor Professor Heidegger, where is your proof for 
the metaphysical adaptation of Heidegger's question?
