The Kalam Cosmological Argument is a philosophical proof that is frequently used by theists to prove the existence of God. In this video, I’m going to break down the formal version of it to show precisely where it falls short. I'll then demonstrate how the conclusion of this argument can be used to prove the non-existence of God.

Now there are a ton of video essays arguing and counter-arguing this proof, but I wouldn’t be making this video if I were simply rehashing all these other arguments. What I’ve noticed is that the vast majority of the objections to this argument focus on two approaches:
1 - Whether the universe actually has a beginning. These arguments bring up the various definitions and types of infinities to argue that an actual infinitely existing universe is not a problem.
2 - Whether random quantum fluctuations of space-time can bring the universe into existence without requiring an explicit cause.

I mention this to make it clear that these are not going to be the lines of attack that I’ll be taking here. (Trust me, I’m not going to bring up anything to do with quantum mechanics in this video. I’ll just be sticking to basic non-technical completely intuitive concepts here.)

I think these objections, regardless of whether or not they’re valid, miss a far more fundamental flaw in the Kalam argument, which I hope to make clear to you by the end of this video.
