Cosmo-theological Argument in the West
Journal Title: جستارهایی در فلسفه و کلام - Year 2010, Vol 42, Issue 85
Abstract
Cosmo-theological argument is one of the theological arguments for [proving] the existence of God, which has been mooted since long ago and has recently been recognized in the Theo-philosophical tradition of the West and become famous as theological argument. While examining the viewpoints related to the appearance of the world, particularly the Big Bang theory, this article undertakes to analyze the theological proof of the existence of God in respect to the views of the physicists, the current critiques in the West, the principle of causality which is one of the premises of this argument and its relation to quantum physics, impossibility of actual infinity and its relation to the finite world, and the cosmological resultant of the Big Bang as the most significant issues to be studied in detail.
