0:07.0	Today we're going to be looking at the cosmological argument.
0:10.0	The cosmological argument is not a single argument.
0:13.0	Think of it more as a family of arguments.
0:15.6	This family are a posteriori arguments, arguments based on the evidence around us.
0:21.3	We start from a general feature of the cosmos and we'll be looking again at St. Thomas Aquinas

1:24.2	No, and we're back. And this time, so's Aquinas. I've grown a huge beard in the last five weeks as well. I haven't. You haven't. Very Santa Claus-esque. Yeah, well, that's what it was for. I mean... Your hair's no longer spiky, are I? I know, I got over that phase. Yeah. I think I like it, how it is. Thank you.
1:44.4	Yeah.
