Kalam Argument for the Existence of God

Cosmological arguments for God’s existence propose that God is the ultimate explanation or cause of everything. Such arguments begin with an empirical observation of the world—that there is motion, or causes, or just ordinary things that exist—and conclude this observation is explained by God’s existence.

This essay surveys three types of cosmological arguments:--

1. First-Cause Cosmological Arguments

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 CE) argued that all the causation and motion we observe can be traced back to God, who is an uncaused cause or unmoved mover.In summary:

• Causes and motion exist.
• All causation or motion requires some prior cause or motion; things can’t happen nor move for no reason.
• But this chain of causation or motion cannot go back infinitely; this seems impossible.
• Therefore, there must be a first, uncaused cause, or first, unmoved mover.
• The most plausible example of an uncaused cause or unmoved mover would be God.
• Therefore, God exists.

To challenge , one might argue that things can just happen for no reason

To challenge (3), one might question why exactly there can’t be an infinite regress of causes or motion: while this is puzzling, so are uncaused causes. Some also argue that there’s a contradiction in the argument: if every cause or motion requires some prior cause, then _________ ___ _______ _________ ____ __________ ___ _________.
