Episode 64: Eternal Universe Models - Going For The Philosophical Jugular
What happens if you're using The Kalam Cosmological Argument with an atheist and he throws out a cosmological model that might seem as though the universe always existed, thus premise 2 ("The universe began to exist") is false? What happens if you have never heard of it before? What happens if there either no scientific problems with the model, or at the very least you don't know what those problems are? In this episode, Mr. Minton will show you how you can respond to such challenges to the Kalam by "Going after the philosophical jugular". By that is meant that all eternal universe models suffer from the same problem; they are logically incoherent.
