What is one common straw man cosmological argument? (p.209 k.2253) 4. Define the word aseity. (p.209 k.2255) 5. The conclusion of a argument is not that God is a necessary being but that God is a necessary being; that is, God's original factuality is required to explain all the of the universe. (p.210 k.2267) 6. Describe the principle of sufficient reason. (p.211 k.2273) 7. What is the metaphysical implication for rejecting the principle of sufficient reason with respect to the cosmos? (p.212 k.2286) Page 41
2 8. What are the three premises of the kalam cosmological argument? (p.214 k.2309) What is the alternative to ex nihilo nihil fit? (p.215 k.2311) 10. "Nothing" lacks all power, because it has no at all. It is a device to indicate the utter lack of any, properties, qualities or attributes. Nothing is. There are no powers at work here. (p.215 k.2319) 11. What are the four options for the statement: Something may begin to exist without a cause? (p.216 k.2330) Page 42
3 12. The second premise of the kalam argument is grounded in what two points? (p.217 k.2340) What is the difference between an actual infinite and a potential infinite? (p.217 k.2342) 14. If the actual does not exist or cannot be traversed, this means that the series of linear events in the universe must be. If the series is finite, it must have a. If it has a beginning, the cause of the series must be of the universe. (p.219 k.2369) 15. Why does the problem of actual infinites not apply to God in respect to His attributes? (p.221 k.2389) 16. What astronomer discovered the red shift, and what is it? (p.224 k.2419) Page 43
4 17. Briefly, what is the steady state model? (p.224 k.2425) 18. What did Penzias and Wilson detect? What was its significance? (pp k.2429) 19. What is the second law of thermodynamics and how does it indicate a beginning of the universe? (p.225 k.2437) 20. Why does the entropy argument not commit the fallacy of composition? (pp k.2463) Page 44
5 21. What is the oscillating model of the universe, and what are some problems with it? (pp k.2499) 22. Write out Anthony Kenny s quote about the big bang theory. (p.232 k.2519) 23. Why does the big bang theory not establish the truth of macroevolution? (p.233 k.2528) 24. What is Ockham s razor? (p.235 k.2547) 25. How does Ockham s razor apply to the idea of multiple uncaused beings? (p.235 k.2548) Page 45
6 26. What case can be made for a personal cause of the universe? (pp k.2554) 27. What worldviews or religions are in jeopardy if the cosmological argument is sound? (p.238 k.2580) 28. Why can t we argue for something as rich as the entire Christian worldview simply on the basis of cosmological arguments? (p.239 k.2592) Page 46
7 YOUR OWN WORDS 29. Why do you think some scientists find the idea of a beginning disagreeable? (pp k.2471) 30. How do you respond to Christian objections to the use of Big Bang cosmology as evidence of a creator? 31. List some practical strengths and weaknesses you see in using the cosmological argument.
