Nothing Ever Begins to Exist Because We're Just Rearranged Matter? - Kalam Cosmological Argument @firstcauseargument

Uploaded June 2012 | Updated September 2026, 2 days ago

Some skeptics and atheists have tried to refute the Kalam Cosmological Argument with the following rebuttal: "Nothing ever begins to exist! For the material of which something consists precedes it. So it is not true that the universe began to exist." This is probably the most popular "objection" to the Kalam Cosmological Argument made by youtube atheists.

William Lane Craig responds to this so-called refutation.
