Strengths and weaknesses of the cosmological argument
- Strengths
- Been around for over 2,500 years
- Cause and effect is an accepted scientific primciple
- It's a posteriori argument and is therefore based on experience
- Part of the cumulative case which proves a strong proof of the existence of god
- Weaknesses
- Infinite regression is impossible
- Based on medieval science which is no longer valid
- No experience of how the universe began
- Contradiction saying the universe can't be infinite but god can
