existence of a greater being‚ God has been a debate for longer than almost any other scientific in history. We are told that McCloskey refers to arguments as proofs and often implies that they cannot definitively establish the case for God‚ so therefore they should be abandoned. He says that because these arguments/debates‚ have no proof he dismisses the term argument and refers to them as “proofs”.

How convincing is the Kalam argument as proof of the existence of Allah The first premise is relatively uncontroversial‚ and is rooted in the metaphysical principle that out of nothing‚ nothing comes.

He is infinitely good (pg. 125). The first argument offered concludes there must be a first mover‚ “and this everyone understands to be God” (pg. 126).
