This week we are discussing the cosmological argument, which is really a family of related arguments. What they all have in common is their conclusion: that an immaterial, powerful being outside the Universe brought the Universe into existence. It is a very challenging argument to understand, so we'll need to consult multiple sources in order to understand it.
-First, read chapter 7 in our textbook, Thinking About God
-You may also want to consult the following links:
The New Atheism and Five Arguments for the Existence of God by William Lane Craig (you only have to read Section 1: The Cosmological Argument from Contingency and Section 2: The Kalam Cosmological Argument)
The Thomistic Cosmological Argument by David Beck
