firstcauseargument | Modern Science and the Kalam Cosmological Argument - William Lane Craig, PhD @firstcauseargument | Uploaded September 2012 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
William Lane Craig shows that contemporary physics actually supports the Kalam Cosmological Argument through the Big Bang theory. Some scientific models (like the Steady State Theory, the Oscillating Theory, Quantum Vacuum Fluctuation Model, Chaotic Inflationary Theory, Quantum Gravity Theory, String Theory, M-Theory and Cyclic Ekpyrotic Theory) are dealt with and refuted and critiqued. Craig shows that the beginning of the universe is absolute.
