Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

The assumption involved in the Cosmological argument is not that every existence must have a cause, for then it would be necessary to find a cause for God. The assumption is that whatever has begun must have a cause, whether it be existence, event, occurrence, or change. Human existence has a cause. Had we complete genealogical tables of the whole human race, it would be possible to trace the cause of every person back through a long chain of secondary causes to the first man. That first man was not eternal. He began to be. The Cosmological argument says that something must have caused him to be, that he could not have come into being out of nothing. Even the atheistic evolutionist who claims that man descended from a protozoan has to admit that that first amoeba-like creature must have had a cause, and he is forced to contradict himself and all of the known facts of science by stating that the cause must have been spontaneous generation.
