The Best Argument for God’s Existence

Believe it or not, the most influential and powerful philosophical argument for the existence of God comes from a medieval Muslim thinker, Avicenna.

St. Thomas Aquinas adapted it, and it remains one of the most persistent and persuasive logical arguments why there must be a God. If everything we see or experience is caused, its existence is “contingent” on something else. But if there is no uncaused, necessary being, then how did anything come into existence, since the first contingent things had nothing to cause them? Let’s Talk Religion unpacks this argument in detail. Check it out.
