Therefore, there is a necessary being on which the world depends for its existence. It's true,however, that it doesn't tell us very much about the nature of that being. It's not even obvious, without further argument, that it must be personal in character. Here is a simple example of what he had in mind. That is all they can say about it.
Most physicists go farther, and claim that that is all there is to say.
Even if everything within the world had a cause, it wouldn't follow that the world as a whole had a cause. Every human being has a grandmother, but it doesn't follow that the human race has a grandmother. Every particular time is located in time, but it doesn't follow that time as a whole is located in time. For example, some of you may want to say that energy is the necessary being we are looking for. There does seem to be a weakness in Taylor's argument at this point.
