Religious Neutrality and Philosophical / Scientific Theories

Aseity is a good term for what you are describing.

An uncaused cause can be contingent or necessary in being. A contingent uncaused cause as an explanation for the universe, while philosophically possible, merely begs the question of whether there can be an infinite number of them. Like the cause of this universe as the effect of something that happens in another universe. Are an infinite number of universes philosophically possible?
