Rational Argument For God
God causing the universe to exist is grounded in evidence as explained above. However, something else causing the universe to exist is a speculation. Also, as I alluded to earlier, the idea of causation itself is debated regularly amongst philosophers. For example, Hume argued that we have no empirical basis for causation. We observe two events, one after another, and just as a habit of mind believe that the first event caused the next, even when we have no empirical basis for such a belief.
