The best argument for God: William Lane Craig - Christian Response Forum #shorts

[Peter-wpvb]

Why is it necessary for this creator to be personal? That trait seems to be smuggled in

[guitardude]

So the best argument for gods existence is to assume the universe had a beginning and then assume it was your God specifically that created it

[Mark]

There is nothing about the universe having a cause that requires that cause to be an intelligent, self-aware entity, which I would think would be a prerequisite for being a god.

[PhsychoSomatic]

The biggest issue i have is, the universe has a cause therefore personal god 🤦‍♂️

[pedrotalons]

I'm agnostic but i think this is the best argument too, except for two diferences
He refers to the cause as a "being" and also as "personal" but that cause doesn't have to be a "being" and it doesn't have to be "personal" it could just aswell be some weird transcendent phenomenon.

[IzzyWizzy]

It doesn't explain anything. It is a form of circular reasoning. Something religious people are great at.

[Cdave-imem]

I love that he logically concludes that the universe had a cause, to which he then presupposes a being.

[catfurbiehat]

It was through thinking about this argument elsewhere that I began to really see the scientific and rational understanding of the existence of God and consequently Jesus Christ. And I'm so pleased to call myself a Christian today because of it! ❤

''Something can't come out of nothing''
''Then where did God come from?''
''He always existed''

[geckoi]

Uncaused, Beginningless, Timeless, Spaceless...hm
That's pretty much nothing.

[sttonep]

”Something can’t come from nothing!! So anyway, god started magically creating stuff out of nothing…”

[samuel]

'Something cannot come from nothing' yet you believe God created the universe from nothing.

[cielingtiddy]

I’ll give it to you, I’ll go as far as to say that the cosmological argument is 110% correct. Now all you gotta do is prove that it’s your god specifically and with that I say good luck

[pedrotalons]

This is pretty much the god of the gaps with extra steps.

[aaron_jordaan]

@naanpizza3881 Jesus is God, he is not a prophet. And he warns against false prophets like Muhammed so your argument has no weight.

[STIC]

The expansion of the Universe had a beginning, however, it's origin is still a mystery; therefore, the entire argument is invalid as it rests on a faulty premise
We don't know anything about the singularity and also, where did god come from? Nothingness? Is he uncreated or needs no cause? Then that's a special pleading fallacy
I can't believe people fall for such fallacious reasoning 🤣

[milkyJuman]

universe began to exist, but how? we dont have any information about how. This is literally god of gaps.

[nobodynowhere]

That argument may be so, but you still have a long long long way to go to talking snakes, virgin births, and people coming back from the dead.

[bennoreuter]

Doesn't convince me. If that's the best you have, go home.

[therealsideburnz]

Craig could be an Olympian given the size of that leap
