    Introducing William Lane Craig and his ramblings - and why he decides infinite regress is impossible. - the present day is the result of successive additions of days - the present would not exist in an infinite universe, as any chain where it is possible to add more items (eg days) is not actually infinite - the universe is not infinite therefore has a beginning

    God feel self conscious so hides when we watch for him?

    Aquinas would argue that literally everything we can observe has a cause. It is difficult to find exception to this. (unless we go into quantum mechanics where there are observed particles with no apparent cause - which are good basis for indeed rejecting this argument). Yes I suppose so, and I agree with you. But I won't get 30 marks out of it.

    As would say David Hume - we create patterns of causation because it comforts us. Yes, 'things just are' would be a lovely conclusion but this unfortunately is a philosophy essay. There is no easy way out. (I will thank you when I get an A. )

    Exactly. Aquinas would say however that since this first cause is NECESSARY, it is NECESSARY for it to have certain properties or it wouldn't fit the bill. It HAS to be an uncaused first cause or it wouldn't be a first cause. If I'm staying up the night before this essay, I'm dragging everyone else down with me.

    I dont entirely know where the name originates so you may be right - but in this case it's purely the existence of the universe (rather than the laws within it) pointing towards the concept of a god, or first cause, at least. eg. Aquinas: - Everything that exists has a cause - infinite regress of a chain of causation is impossible - there must have been a first cause (that the rule of 'having to be caused' doesn't apply to) - this we call God. Thoughts?

    "The NRA says that 'guns don't kill people, people do'. But I think the gun helps, you know? Just standing there going 'BANG' isn't going to kill too many people, is it?" EDDIE IZZARD. YOU BABE.

    There's a couple different versions which are complicated and bleeerch. I don't really know how to revise it.

    This makes me laugh so much too much.

    Don't suppose anyone wants to debate the Cosmological argument for the existence of God with me for essay practice?
  20. astor
