Demolishing the Kalam Cosmological Argument for God
Channel: Religion Debate
Date: 2013-05-05

This is a comprehensive refutation of the popular kalam cosmological argument that is used by Christian apologists like William Lane Craig.  Hopefully the content of this video will help put this argument out of it's misery once and for all. :)

This was originally a four part series from CounterApologist that I combined into a single video.  Be sure to subscribe to his channel for more great videos!
