The Ontological Argument
Cosmological argument.
A third logical argument for God’s existence is called the cosmological argument. Every effect must have
a cause. This universe and everything in it is an effect. There must be something that caused everything
to come into existence. In our observable world, things happen as a result of some action. For example,
a computer is created by many minds who collectively work at creating it from materials that exist. The
computer is the cause. But it must be made by something or someone who was not computer
generated. A computer cannot make itself. Ultimately, there must be something “un-caused” in order
to cause everything else to come into existence. That “un-caused” cause is God.
