More Proof of God!

Topic Notes

• Introducing the Kalam Cosmological Argument
• We are broadcasting on YouTube… LIVE!
• We want to answer questions… bring ’em on!
• What is it like to be atheist?
• Our goal is to prove that there is SOME KIND OF GOD that exists
• Explaining the Logical Argument
• of Dave and Tacos
• Breaking down the argument
  • 1. Whatever has a beginning to its existence must have a cause
  • 2. The Universe began to exist
  • 3. The Universe had to have a cause (a creator)
• What is the Law of Causality?
• Critics say God must have been self-caused – which is impossible.
• The argument doesn’t say that “everything must have a cause.”
• It says, “Whatever has a beginning to existence, must have a cause.”
• God had no beginning so he doesn’t need a cause.
• Bible Contradiction via answering-christianity.com
  • Who incited David to count the fighting men of Israel?
  • 2 Samuel 24:1 (God) vs I Chronicles 2 1:1 (Satan)
• Listener Question
  • How should we as Christians defend the Bible? One of my co-workers said that like all other religions it was written by men. I referenced the scripture in Timothy that says all scripture is God-breathed (inspired by God) but then he countered with, “yeah but a man wrote that too.” I had to tap out there. How should I respond to that?
• Believe it or not, this used to be (and still is) a huge point of disagreement.
• There are two types of reasons why we know the universe had to have a beginning. The first one is a philosophical reason, and the second a scientific reason.
• Explaining infinity
• Explaining the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
• Pizza and Popcorn… the building blocks for life? Not really.
• Put everything together and you get the conclusion that the Universe must have had a creator (we contend this is GOD!)
