In Defense with Dr. RG Willert

In today’s episode, we dive into the first premise of the Kalam: Everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence. Typically, this premise is assumed true and accepted, but you will find two major reasons why one should believe it to be true. We will discuss reasons from empirical evidence to the weird costs or reality we would have to be willing to accept to believe this first premise is false. If we accept this premise to be true or more plausibly true, this will then turn us to episode 4, our discussion of premise 2 of the argument.

In today’s episode we will briefly look at two kinds of argumentation and reasoning found within the Kalam and discuss what makes a good argument. We will discuss and give examples of inductive vs. deductive argumentation and reasoning, as well as understand what makes an argument valid and sound. This will then take us back to understand what kind of argument the Kalam Cosmological argument is.
