Welcome to CausalArgument.com

As the ultimate answer to Kant’s challenge, the Causal Argument for the Existence of a Supreme Being departs radically from the usual, and often mundane rhetoric of Christian apologetics.

Preface

There are certain questions of the most transcendent, yet fundamentally important and practical nature, that the human mind can never stop pondering them, but that are of such a profound nature that they inspire a greater degree of skepticism than any other questions that can be asked. Why does the universe exist? Is it an accident? Or is it the creation of a Supreme Will? And if it is the creation of a Supreme Will how can we reconcile such a belief with all that we have come to know through such sciences as archaeology and cosmology? And has not the theory of evolution exposed such a belief as the mere product of an outmoded, superstitious, religious myth?

The theory of evolution offers an explanation for the origin of the species, and although the evidence upon which it rests is enough to discount the creationist notion in a 6,000 year old Earth, it does not address the ultimate question concerning the origin of the universe, hence, its limited scope does not suffice to refute the idea of a Supreme Author of creation....

2012-MAY: An essay I have written has been scheduled for publication in the journal of philosopohy: "The Review of Metaphysics" published by the Catholic University of America, in Washington D.C. This essay answers Kant's preliminary question: "How are synthetic cognitions a priori possible?" Without a satisfactory answer to this fundamentally crucial question Kant rejects all proposals with regard to metaphysics as vain and baseless philosophy and false wisdom. The essay "Beyond Kant and Hegel" answers this preliminary question and it also presents the premise to the "Causal Argument" as it appears here. The Causal Argument itself constitutes in its entirety, a synthetic cognition a priori, according to Kant's definition.
