卡拉姆宇宙論證

Kalam Cosmological Argument

「宇宙論證」是從理性論證上帝存在的傳統論證，而「卡拉姆宇宙論證」就是眾多「宇宙論證」中其中一個最受注目的版本。現代宇宙學告訴我們宇宙的年齡有限，意味著時間的存在是偶然的。「卡拉姆宇宙論證」嘗試從時間和宇宙的偶然存在從而推論出上帝的存在。本文將會詳細討論此論證的基本結構和論據，也會回應對此論證的主要批評。

Cosmological Argument is a traditional argument for the existence of God. In particular, the Kalam Cosmological Argument is one of the most popular versions. Modern Cosmology indicates that the age of our universe is finite, which suggests that time is not beginningless. Based on the fact that our universe is contingent, the Kalam Cosmological Argument can deduce the existence of God. In this article, we discuss the basic structure of the argument and respond to the major criticisms of the argument.
