Explanation of the Kalam Cosmological Argument
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
The Kalam cosmological argument is a variation of the cosmological argument that argues for the existence of a first cause for the universe, and the existence of God. Its origins can be traced to medieval Jewish, Christian and Muslim thinkers, but most directly to Islamic theologians of the Kalām tradition. Its historic proponents include John Philoponus, Al-Kindi, Saadia Gaon, Al-Ghazali, and St. Bonaventure. William Lane Craig revived interest in the Kalām cosmological argument with his 1979 publication of a book of the same name. The argument postulates that something caused the Universe to begin to exist, and this first cause must be God.

(P1) Everything that is sentient has a cause.
(P2) The Abrahamic god is (said to be) sentient.
(C) Therefore the Abrahamic god has a cause.
KCA refuted. Let's move the F on....... -
Everything that begins to exists may have a cause, but the cause could be mindless laws of physics that are unknown to humans. There is no evidence that the cause has the ability to think, plan, have emotions, or have intentions. Kalam cosmological argument is another nonsense argument used by charlatans to sell books to unsuspecting gullible people.
