The Cosmological Argument and Free Will

[orangebox21]

On the topic, I believe that the cosmological argument is sustaining in determinism, and in the idea of cause effect, which in itself is contraditory with free-will, as determinism in general believes everything is "determined".

If naturalism is true, then your above assertion would be true as well.

If naturalism is true, and thus determinism, then [within the context of this argument] the 'beginning of the universe' is in fact not the 'beginning' because the cause of the beginning of the universe would be an effect of a previous cause.

This would go on and on into infinite regress and the question would still remain, what is the first uncaused cause? This is a question unanswerable by determinism.

[As a note it is because of a naturalistic or deterministic perspective that I think the atheist often asks, 'what created God?' It's a question that flows naturally views these views.]
