Exodus Of The Old Testament - 1453 Words

In the book of Exodus of the Old Testament of the Judeo-Christian Bible, Moses asked God for His Name, and God responded â€Å"I Am that I Am†, which, in Hebrew is â€Å"Yahweh† and in Greek it is â€Å"Oh Ohn† which literally translates as â€Å"The One That Exists†. The Cosmological Argument attempts to prove that God exists by showing that there cannot be an infinite number of regressions of causes to things that exist. It states that there must be a final uncaused-cause of all things. This uncaused-cause is asserted to be God. The Cosmological Argument takes several forms but is basically represented below. Cosmological Argument 1. Things exist. 2. It is possible for those things to not exist. 3. Whatever has the possibility of non-existence, yet exists, has been caused to exist. 1. Something cannot bring itself into existence since it must exist to bring itself into existence, which is illogical. 4. There cannot be an infinite number of causes to bring something into existence. 1. An infinite regression of causes ultimately has no initial cause, which means there is no cause of existence. 2. Since the universe exists, it must have a cause. 5. Therefore, there must be an uncaused cause of all things. 6. The uncaused cause must be God. In the following paper, I will attempt to argue for the existence of God and that God is the cause of existence because God is existence and nothing exists separate from God.
