William Lane Craig gives a philosophical argument for the beginning of the universe using Hilbert's Paradox of the Grand Hotel. While Craig does not deny an actual infinite can exist, he does deny that an actually infinite number of things can exist in the universe. Craig has used mathematician David Hilbert's 'Hotel' example in defending the second premise of the Kalam Cosmological argument that the universe began to exist.
