Cosmological Argument - Coggle Diagram

- - - - And if God is exempt from them why cant something else also be exempt from those rules?
- - - - eg: we are contingent
      - There must have been something to stop the eternal regression of contingency, that something being God
        
        We cant have a world where everything is contingent because then it could have all never existed
        
        So theres a need for at least 1 necessary being
        
        A being that has always and will always exist. And that cant not exist
      - Contingent things can cause other contingent things but there cant only be contingent things otherwise it becomes an infinite regress
  - - - In order for there to be degrees of perfection there must be something perfect against which everything else is measured.
        
        God is the pinnacle of perfection
  - - - Nothing causes itself and there cant be an infinite amount of causes
        
        There must be a fist causer, itself uncaused, and that must be God
  - - - movement if caused by things that cause motion
        
        Everything that moves must have been moved by something else that was also moving
        
        something must have started the motion in the first place
        
        There must have been a time when nothing was in motion and a static being that started the motion
        
        there cant be an infinite regress of movers
        
        There must be a first mover, itself unmoved, and thats God
