The Cosmological Argument

Everything has a cause. The cause of all causes, the Prime Mover, necessarily exists because there must exist a first cause. God is the first cause.

The Cosmological Argument for the existence of God is appealing because it acknowledges that there must be a force behind all forces. Because all matter is vibration, all matter is movement. Where did everything get movement from? Why is there movement? Some force with causal capability must have put the vibration in our universe. That force is God.

The existence of a first cause is undeniable. Whether it’s a father-figure imposing rules or an energetic master orchestrating every movement in the universe is a matter of personal taste. What is clear is that some being/entity has caused all of us, and everything in existence to exist. For simplicity’s sake we can call that God.
