Thomistic cosmological argument

From RationalWiki

The Thomistic cosmological argument is a piece of theological reasoning that attempts to show the existence of god. This argument was taken from Conservapedia's article which was originaly copied and pasted from the article on Theopedia. The argument proceeds as such:

1. What we observe in this universe is contingent (i.e. dependent, or conditional)
2. A sequence of causally related contingent things cannot be infinite
3. The sequence of causally dependent contingent things must be finite

Conclusion: There must be a first cause in the sequence of contingent causes

There are two major logical fallacies in this argument:

1. It does not solve the problem: if the universe was made by god because nothing can exist without cause, then something must have made that god. If something were to make that god then he would not be the god of creation anymore.
2. It is non-specific: if a force did actually create the universe then there is no reason for it to be constricted to the actions of a religious god. There are an infinite number of causes other than a human god that could have caused the creation of the universe.
