The Necessity of God

When it comes to the divine existence, there is perhaps no greater or more complex question than "Who or what caused God?" This query is frequently used as a counter to arguments in favor of God's existence. But if everything must have a cause, what caused God? As a response, it is essential to understand that the Argument from Contingency does not necessarily affirm that everything must have a cause.

As you delve deeper into this argument, you might begin to perceive a pattern of interconnectedness that threads through every entity in the universe. However, this chain of contingency must find its anchor somewhere. The Argument from Contingency proposes that this anchor is a being that is independent and necessary - a being upon which everything else is contingent.
