Argument for God - A Cosmological Argument (Prof. Andrew Loke)

In this lecture, Prof. Andrew Loke presents a unique version of the cosmological argument to show the existence of God. Based on a unique version of the Kalam, it is strengthened by insights from the Thomistic and Leibnizian traditions. He has defended his argument in his 2 books "The Theological and Kalam Cosmological Arguments Revisited" (2022), and in "God and Ultimate Origins: A Novel Cosmological Argument" (2017). He has also replied to critics in his recent work "On God and the Beginning of the Universe: an Evaluation of Recent Discussions" (2023). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In particular, Prof. Loke would like to recommend the following resources: 1.
