Cosmological Argument
What came to exist first the chicken or the egg? without the chicken, the egg could not be created but was it not the chicken who laid the egg? This story is an endless story and we may never know the answer. This story is a great example of the cosmological argument. In order to comprehend the cosmological argument, we first have to explain its meaning. The cosmological arguments are one of the most important arguments for the existence of God, this argument is the most used around the world. For example, the existence of God and the beginning of the universe. The arguments states that everything on the earth had to have a beginning of existence and it could not be because it just appears on the earth something had to have created it, something

The cosmological argument is a philosophical argument in favor of the existence of God based on looking at evidence in the world around us. The arguments aim to persuade us that its conclusion is reasonable. But what is the conclusion that the cosmological wants us to accept? The argument wants us to accept that the cause of the universe is what we call God. From the existence of the world or universe to the existence of a being that brought it into and keeps it in existence. The idea that the universe has an endless past, going back in time into infinity is both theoretical and scientifically complex. All indications are that there is a point in time at which the universe began to exist. This beginning was either caused or uncaused. The cosmological argument suggests that the beginning of the universe was not caused without a …show more content…
If we go way back, we can end up with the question that everyone asks themselves what cause the big bang? If we reject the idea of infinite regress which is the idea that the universe always existed, then we are saying that the chain of events cannot go forever instead there has to be or must be a first cause that is distinct from the universe. If it is not part of the universe then it could not be physical, time bound nor uncaused since this are the characteristic of things in the universe like you and I. What would you call something that is not physical? But poses different characteristic that no other contains. That something that can be spiritual, not bound by time and that is eternal and that is not caused but is necessary? we call it God. The cosmological argument consists of various statement that at some point it contradicts itself. Number one, everything that exists has a cause, second the universe exists, third, the universe has a cause if we add all three together we can conclude that the cause of the world is God but if everything that exists has a cause who or what cause God to exist. If god exist and we put God into statement number one, it clearly tells us that since god exist then god must have a cause but then it leads to the
