Understanding the Kalam Cosmological Argument

The Kalam cosmological argument is presented in three simple steps: everything that begins to exist has a cause, the universe began to exist, and therefore the universe has a cause. Dr. Craig emphasizes that the first premise is intuitive and widely accepted, asserting that nothing can come from nothing. He notes that historical metaphysical principles, such as 'out of nothing, nothing comes,' lend strong support to this idea and argue against the possibility of uncaused events. For Dr. Craig, if things could spontaneously arise from nothing, we should regularly observe such occurrences, which, of course, we do not.
