Does the Kalam argument prove God exists? Jimmy Aiken explains.

Hello and welcome to focus the Catholic Answers Podcast for living understanding and defending your Catholic faith I'm

Cy Kelle at your host and the Kalam argument has become very popular in recent decades

actually after some neglect it has done so as you'll hear in this

podcast because it's been promoted by certain apologists, particularly William Lane Craig,

and also because it's one of those arguments that you can make

relatively easily. Most people can hear the Kalam argument and make up their mind

about whether or not they believe this proves God exists,

which is what we want to do.

We get into some deeper questions with Jimmy about whether it in fact does what it claims to do.

I think it does, but you have to decide for yourself.

Of course, the best argument for God's existence

is the one that's convincing.

And this is indeed convincing to many many people because God

does exist and God loves us and if we can maybe break through some of the modern

skepticism and caution about God

based on what people hear, what people read,

and also the kind of the modern mentality,

which is cut off a bit from God, cut off quite a bit from God. Whatever

can help us kind of chip away at that and help people to reflect in a serious

grave way about God's existence and about their relationship to God I think is good and helpful.

Let's hear what Jimmy has to say.
