Khalam Cosmological Argument
Hume
necessary being
Same time as Aquinas' cosmological argument
put forward by Al-Kindi & Al Ghazali (in Middle East) (Islamic background)
Khalam = to discuss
A posteriori & inductive argument
Kant perception can be deception
Phenomenal vs noumenal (God exists in numen)
we don't have access to numen so it's impossible to access info about God
successive additions
world/universe isn't actually infinite
we have successive additions e.g. days
it's dismissed as it leads to illogical conclusions
world is finite
has a start and end = God
Hume - how do we know it's God
not possible in actual infinity
illogical
William Lane Craig wrote 'The Khalam Cosmological Argument' book
start of universe two ways: 1) natural causes by chance 2) personal being by choice
option 1 isn't possible (Aquinas' 2nd way)
