The Necessity of a First Cause: Understanding God's Role in Existence

This argument posits that everything that exists must have a cause. Since nothing can be the cause of itself—requiring prior existence to initiate its own existence—there must be an initial 'causer', which we identify as God. The reasoning follows that if all things require something preceding them in order to come into being, the only logical explanation for the existence of the universe and everything within it is a primordial cause, which we attribute to God. This perspective emphasizes the philosophical implications of causality and existence.

  1. Everything that exists must have a cause. Nothing can cause itself because to do so it would need to be existed before it existed! There must, therefore, have been something that was the first ‘causer’ was God. Proof 2

  2. Proof 2 Everything must have a cause if it exists. Before something is made, something must have been before that. This was God.

  3. Proof 2 I agree with this because if something exists it needs something else before that to be made. So, the only explanation for this is God.
