Original price was: £12.99.£9.99Current price is: £9.99.
Does the universe have a beginning, and if so, what caused it? This lesson walks through the Kalam Cosmological Argument, one of the most compelling philosophical and scientific cases for God’s existence, blending logic, cosmology, and Scripture (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-3, Hebrews 11:3) into a journey from reason to worship.

Description
The Kalam Cosmological Argument
Part of the Arguments for God series
Why is there something rather than nothing? In this lesson, you’ll dig into one of the oldest and most compelling arguments for God’s existence: if the universe had a beginning, it needs a cause beyond itself.
Starting with a simple thought experiment (a wooden bird carving that just appears in an empty room), you’ll work through the Kalam syllogism step by step and see why each premise holds up to scrutiny. Along the way, you’ll explore Hilbert’s Hotel and the puzzle of infinite regress, the scientific case for cosmic expansion and the Big Bang, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and how thinkers like al-Ghazali, Kant, and William Lane Craig have shaped this argument over the centuries.
Every step is tied back to Scripture, including Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-3, and Hebrews 11:3, so you’re not just learning philosophy in the abstract; you’re seeing how reason and revelation point in the same direction. With guided activities, journal prompts, and a closing prayer, this lesson moves from pure logic to genuine worship, helping you hold both your mind and your faith with confidence.
You’ll come away able to:
- Explain the Kalam syllogism in your own words
- Understand the philosophical and scientific case for a finite universe
- Respond to common objections like “Who caused God?” and the quantum physics challenge
- Connect the argument’s conclusion to the biblical picture of a transcendent Creator
