The Kalam Cosmological Argument
#3
RE: The Kalam Cosmological Argument
(August 1, 2024 at 2:48 pm)Disagreeable Wrote: Quoting from Wikipedia: 'The most prominent form of the Kalam cosmological argument, as defended by William Lane Craig, is expressed as the following syllogism:

Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist.
Therefore, the universe has a cause.'

I find this argument laughable because it's supposed to be an argument for God but the conclusion is just that the universe has a cause.

And it doesn’t even do that much, since the first premise is not obviously true.
