Kalam Cosmological Argument Analysis

_”I'm guessing you might subscribe to the Kalam cosmological argument, so I'll give my opinion on it, it actually isn't that poor of an idea in my opinion, and uses logic.”_
Well its best not to guess but ask as I would lay out the case as I see it not the way you think I see it or would like me to see it perhaps.
_” However, I have problems with it.”_
Well you are an atheist of course you do lol. For a start, while it suggests a god is possible,
Well here we go, you have started with an assumption, which isn’t necessarily 100% wrong neither is it 100% right and you are now going to try to make a case that only bring into question your own assumptions, this is why you clarify before wading in, it’s not only shows respect to the other side but it logical and reasonable. let's be frank here, evolution could create unicorns if deer developed that structure of horn.
Now I am not the sort that tolerates, comments on unicorns, Santa or the tooth fairy, it does not advance arguments, it’s just silly immature comments that is the bread and butter of new atheists hence the reason you are shown

Fusion has created every molecule that exists, as it combines atoms with more pressure and heat closer to the core of a star, in very large or dense stars, their higher gravity allows this Fusion to create really dense particles, and when they go supernova at the end of their life, gold can be formed from the amazing pressure and temperatures. Unfortunately, it does not create the matter itself, and it messes with the arrangement of electrons, neutrons and protons instead. We currently believe that all matter originated from the Big Bang, and was destroyed by a near equal amount of antimatter, which would have caused the expansion. Antimatter is also viewed as a possible fuel source that could help us go faster than the speed of light, if that is

    According to Arthur Kleinman, there is no better doctor-patient relationship than one where both parties are able to answer a set of eight seemingly obvious and simple questions. The key to this dynamic is the ability to answer, not the similarity between answers. The importance of this distinction could have made all the difference in the conflict in Lia Lee’s case. The introduction of eight “golden” rules to consider in health care at the end of Lia Lee’s case allow all parties to self-reflect retrospectively and consider the cosmological differences between Lia Lee’s parents and her doctors. The take-away is to eradicate the cultural term of noncompliance, as this asserts moral supremacy.…

    In 1968 a philosopher named H.J. McCloskey wrote an article titled “On Being an Atheist,” which attacked the main arguments held by theists. The main arguments that he refers to as “proofs” are the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the ontological argument. McCloskey’s article debunks these arguments as being false and without proof. He states that theists should dismiss the idea of God entirely. He claims in his opening statements that he will show reasons why theists should be miserable just because they are theists (1).…

    Moreover, who made God's maker? The risk of a boundless relapse of makers, each hypothesized with a specific end goal to clarify the presence of that coming to it, looms. By chance that there is a vast relapse of makers, however, at that point there is no first maker, no extreme reason for the universe, no God. Maybe, at that point, the theist ought to keep up that God doesn't have a maker, that he is an uncaused reason. In the event that uncaused presence is conceivable, however, at that point there is no compelling reason to hypothesize a God that made the universe; if uncaused presence is conceivable, at that point the universe could be…

    In cosmology, many key concepts lie shrouded in mystery, one in particular being the tesseract. Known to many mathematicians as a literal 4 dimensional cube, tesseracts are not easily described. Cosmology, on the other hand, puts a whole new meaning to the concept thought to be way ahead of us: time as a physical dimension; something usable and perceivable by humans; not an unknown, veiled force permitting the continuance of our 3-brane universe. A relatively new probabilistic argument explores the complex possibilities of existing tesseracts. The equation: N = R • T • Sm •…

    When it comes to the position of the existence of God, several arguments are debated. The cosmological argument, according to the text, holds the position that the universe exists and that something outside of the universe is required to explain its existence; that something being God (Pojman, 57). William Paley presented an inductive, teleological argument in which he believes that we complex beings didn’t occur naturally, thus, the universe must have an intelligent designer (class notes). An opposing position, argued by Hume (Cleanthes), presented several arguments to discredit Paley’s position on the existence of God. Though both men held unique points of views from their arguments, I believe that Hume did a better job at discrediting Paley’s teleological argument and showing exactly where it failed.…

    “There is sufficient reason to believe that God is the cause of the universe” The cosmological argument is a multitude of arguments that have been developed to modern day ideas. These arguments are based on natural theology; this is when someone has knowledge of God based on experiences. It is a philosophical argument that aims to prove the existence of God. The cosmological argument rejects the idea of infant regress because if that is the cause there is no need for God.…

    Hayy developed a cosmology to portray how he understood the world through the use of observation, speculation, and comparison, without it he would have never discovered how interconnected the universe was. Hayy understands the world in a way that is similar to Copernicus and the rest of previous scientists. His theory of the world stemmed from developments that took place over 28 years in seven-year increments (Ibn Ṭufayl 1150, pg. 128). Hayy understood the world through the basis of the four elements including water, earth, air, and fire. His understanding of the four elements was that they could destroy the other.…

    2.2.8 Norman Malcolm Malcolm expanded on Anselm’s second argument, where most saw the second argument as a rephrasing of the first, Malcolm saw it as an entirely different argument. He believes that Anselm’s second argument is actually an argument that it is greater to exist necessarily rather than contingently, so it becomes a part of the concept that the greatest conceivable being would exist necessarily rather than contingently. This would free the argument from one of Kant’s critiques; the critique that existence isn’t a valid predicate, using this new argument, existence actually adds something to our concept of what God is rather than just being a statement on whether he exists. The crux of the argument is whether or not there exists a unique being that must exist necessarily rather than contingently, everything we know is contingent on something else, for example, you are contingent on your parents.…

    Evidential apologetics stresses the need for evidence in support of the Christian truth claims. The evidence can be rational, historical, archaeological, and even experiential. Since it is so broad, it understandably overlaps with other types of apologetics. There are many ways in which one can show their faith to someone, but with evidence that someone can see or touch has more validity in todays society. It's the, "Oh!…

    The question being asked is does Samuel Clarkes cosmological argument succeed or fail? Through his reasoning, I believe that his argument succeeds. After some thorough consideration and advising I have found all of Clarks premises, which are the steps in his argument, valid and cannot be fully proven otherwise. Clarkes cosmological argument is as follows: (1) There exists either an unending chain solely of dependent beings or there also exists at least one independent being; (2)…

    Have you ever wondered where we came from or how we got here? Some believe we came about through the single cell theory or evolution, but others believe life was created by some higher being that they call god. The teleological argument know also as the argument from design. The argument is used by theists to persuade the existence of god to agnostics and atheists.…

    Originating from cosmic events such as supernovas, chemical elements are the foundation of all life. Billions of years ago, a violent explosion known as the Big Bang produced helium, hydrogen, and all of the matter and energy in the universe. Generated in the cores of stars, nuclei combined to form atoms which constitute the basic unit of all chemical elements. The extensive expansion of the universe induced the birth and demise of more stars and consequently the creation of more elements.…
