The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Cosmological Argument for the Exist

The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Cosmological disputation for the Existence of paragon The cosmological parametric quantity seeks to prove the humans of God by looking at the mankind. It is an A posteriori proof based on experience and the observation of the world non logic so the result is probable or possible not definite. The argument is in triad forms motion, causation and organism. These are also the first three ways in the five ways presented by Aquinas through which he countd the existence of God could be shown. Aquinas regarded Aristotle as the principal philosopher so many an(prenominal) of these concepts originate in the thinking of Aristotle. One example of the cosmological argument is the argument of causation. Everything has a cause. Everything itself has a cause. But, you cannot have an infinite number of causes. and then there must have been an uncaused causer, which causes everything to happen without itself being caused by an ything else. Such an uncaused cause is what people understand by God. This composition was revisited by William Lane Craig who developed the Kalam cosmological argument. He reinforced the dispute that the conception must have had a creator by first proving that the universe if finite. He proves this by explaining that the present would not exist in an actual infinite universe, because successive additions cannot be added to an actual infinite. The present does exist, as a result of a chronological series of past events. The universe must be finite. Craig seeks to prove that the universe must have had a beginning in time and that there must have been a creator who was uncaused. The Kalam argument makes the cosmologi... ...but does not prove there was a being that started this. The beginning of the universe could be put down to coincidence followed by the evolution of life. However, it does not disprove the existence of an uncaused causer. How do we no t know that God was not responsible for the big bang? In conclusion we can see that there are many reasons to believe that the universe must have had a beginning. Both from a philosophical and scientific point of view. However, this cannot be proved, we are still able to interview the idea. It is also debatable as to whether or not a personalized creator was involved. This is down to personal belief and faith in God. I do not personally believe that the cosmological argument is real enough to prove the existence of God. But, it is very convincing in proving that the universe had a beginning.
