Critique Of The Kalam Cosmological Argument

By Jason Barr

I. Introduction

In this article, I will be presenting a critique of the Kalam Cosmological Argument for the existence of God made famous as of late by philosopher William Lane Craig. I believe that even though the argument is logically valid, there are insufficient reasons for believing the premises are actually true.

The Kalam Cosmological Argument

By Miles Donahue

I. Introduction

In this extensive article, I will be presenting and defending the famous kalam cosmological argument for the existence of God. In his 1979 book of the same name, William Lane Craig brought this argument to the forefront of philosophical discussion. The issues, objections, and counter-objections surrounding the argument are many, and form a fractal-like pattern. So in this article I will not respond to objections, but will wait for them to be raised by L.A. Mitchell. First, I’ll sketch the basic premises of the argument, then define key terms used, next outline supporting arguments for each premise, and end with concluding thoughts.

A Defense of Cosmological Atheology

By L.A. Mitchell

I: Introduction

”The beginning is the end
Keeps coming round again”
- How To Destroy Angels, ”The Loop Closes”

I recently published an article called “General relativity entails that the universe has no external cause”. It is necessary to read this article in order to understand the arguments being made (a link will be provided in the reference page for this purpose). [1] The Christian apologist Miles Donahue has responded to this argument on his website [2], and I seek to offer a defense of my ”cosmological atheology” in this paper.
