Here I respond to a recent answer given by William Lane Craig to a question about the causal principle (everything that begins has a cause) asked by Nathan and me in a recent stream about the Kalam Cosmological Argument. I argue that Craig fails to answer the question satisfactorily, and actually raises more problems for his argument.
