Cosmological argument

This argument is used to prove the existence of God. It references to the start of the universe.

The universe could not have just begun. It must have been started by a being. That being is God.

David Hume:

1. Any particle of matter may be annihilated and any form may be conceived to be altered.

He means that God may have been the origin of the universe but he might not exist now.

Bertram Russell:

1. The universe might have always existed.

Thomas Aquinas:

1. God is the 'origin of the chain of causation'. The cause of the universe whether it was the big bang or not, must have had a cause in itself. That cause was God. The universe cannot have infinitely regressed hence God must be the origin. There is no other logical explanation.
