Gaps in theistic arguments. Secular theism vs religious theism
#11
RE: Gaps in theistic arguments. Secular theism vs religious theism
At best the argument shows a thing that is not this universe wasn't the unmoved mover, could be another universe that has a different set of laws of motion than this one.

On a related note, if the universe doesn't exist within itself I don't see how it's laws of motion would apply to itself. These kinds of arguments are probably similar to if I was to argue as follows: if my heart is a muscular organ which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system then my whole body(the whole set of parts) is a muscular organ which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.
