Thoughts on the cosmological argument for the existence of God.
The cosmological argument for the existence of God is pretty cool. I was reading about it tonight in a blog post at Cosmic Variance, which is really one of my favorite blogs of the now.
1. Every effect has a cause.
2. Nothing can cause itself.
3. A causal chain cannot be of infinite length. (This is the one part I'm not so sure about - if in fact there was some God out there capable of producing anything it desired, it might very well just make an impossibly infinite long causal chain. This too is a problem though, because to just say "GOD MAY PRODUCE ALL OF THE FANTASTIC SHIT HE DESIRES TO PRODUCE" doesn't really help if you're trying to make a logical argument for God. Besides, this isn't my argument, this is Aristotle's argument, and he's fucking dead.)
4. Therefore, there must be a first cause; or, there must be something which is not an effect.

I was reading thoughts on cosmological argument for and it was interesting how complex ideas encourage deeper thinking and analysis from different perspectives. Student life can feel similar especially in engineering where problem solving and technical understanding require a lot of focus. Many students search for help with engineering assignment when projects reports and deadlines start piling up together. In academic discussions UK assignment help is sometimes mentioned while students talk about managing workload and staying on track with university responsibilities.
