How To Prove That The Universe Was Created: Part 1

The Christian Philosopher Episode 25: Proofs Of Creation: In this series of videos we are going to look at some of the classic “Proofs of Creation” arguments from the history of philosophy that I find very persuasive. These arguments show, successfully to my mind, why it is impossible for the world to have existed forever in the past.

In other words, we are going to look at some arguments that show the idea of an “eternal universe” leads to contradiction and is therefore impossible.

By “eternal universe” we mean that the physical, changing, temporal universe has always existed, and goes back “forever” in time. In this way, both time and the changing physical universe would be eternal or infinite in the past.

A lot of atheists like the idea of an eternal universe for obvious reasons. They think that if the physical universe has always been here then we don’t need to ask about how it got here.
But the idea that the world never began is highly problematic.
In fact, there are at least four arguments to show that such an eternal universe is impossible.

1- The Argument From The Impossibility Of Traversing The Infinite

2 - The Argument From The Impossibility Of Forming The Infinite By Successive Addition

3 - The Argument From The Impossibility Of Increasing The Infinite

4 - The Argument From The Impossibility Of The Part Equaling The Whole
