Kalam Cosmological Argument
The Kalam Cosmological Argument is a philosophical argument that seeks to demonstrate the existence of a first cause for the universe. It is based on three main premises: everything that begins to exist has a cause, the universe began to exist, and therefore, the universe has a cause. This cause is often identified as God.
The argument emphasizes the idea that an infinite past is impossible, leading to the conclusion that there must be a starting point for the universe. Proponents argue that this first cause is uncaused, timeless, and necessary, distinguishing it from everything else that exists within the universe.
