The Cosmological Argument: Why Does Anything Exist?

William Lane Craig argues that the universe’s existence demands a cause outside itself. He invokes the cosmological argument, suggesting that everything that begins to exist has a cause, and the universe is no exception. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong counters with natural explanations like the Big Bang, arguing that invoking God complicates rather than clarifies. He also questions why God, as the first cause, requires no explanation, challenging Craig’s foundational premise.
