The Cosmological Argument

The Cosmological Argument is a philosophical reasoning that suggests everything that exists has a cause. Since the universe exists, it too must have a cause beyond itself. Proponents argue this cause is best understood as a necessary being, often identified as God. The argument highlights that an infinite chain of causes is not plausible, leading to the conclusion that there must be an uncaused cause that initiated everything. Thus, it provides a framework for understanding the existence of the universe and the concept of a divine creator within theological discussions.
