Hey,

I am writing this to put forward my reasons for believe in God. I'll start off with more philosophical arguements and move on from there. It will be interesting to see your answers.

Reason 1: The Kalam Cosmological Arguement

Im taking this from William Lane Craig.

1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existance.
2. The universe began to exist
3. Therefore the universe has a cause of its existance.
4. This cause is God (Not necessarly the Christian God)

This presupposes the anthro-centric notion that our understanding of (cause/effect) reality is complete, sans limitation. I believe it was Hume who challenged this a priori assumption.

Your reply was to a Necro'd thread. The post before yours was dated 2009.
