Kalam argument under attack
February 9, 2015 at 2:08 pm
Most of us are familiar the Kalam's cosmological argument and its flaws. It is still used today because science says the our universe had a beginning. This might not be the case anymore.

Quote:Using the quantum-corrected Raychaudhuri equation, Ali and Das derived quantum-corrected Friedmann equations, which describe the expansion and evolution of universe (including the Big Bang) within the context of general relativity.
[...]
In cosmological terms, the scientists explain that the quantum corrections can be thought of as a cosmological constant term (without the need for dark energy) and a radiation term. These terms keep the universe at a finite size, and therefore give it an infinite age. The terms also make predictions that agree closely with current observations of the cosmological constant and density of the universe.

This model is still in hypothesis stage. If it is confirmed, it will remove all scientific support for Kalam's argument.

Here is the link to the actual paper for those who are interested.
