(pt 3) This is the third and final installment of our newest argument for God's existence, the Kalam Cosmological Argument. This is surely one of the most interesting and widely used cosmological arguments today, popularized primarily by Dr. William Lane Craig.
In this argument, we seek to discover if the universe had a cause, and if so, what the nature of that cause would have to be like. This is a fascinating argument, and has enjoyed much usage from Jewish, Muslim, and Christian theists for over 1,000 years.
The Kalam Cosmological argument is simply this:
1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause.
Does it make sense? Is it a logically airtight argument, or does it contain hidden fallacies? Let's find out...
