Challenges to the Cosmological Argument 2024
David Hume - ANS-• All knowledge and ideas, however complex can be reduced to some experience our senses have. • His examination of people's mode of thinking led him to conclude that humans think they know a great deal more about the universe than is warranted. • He argued the mistake humans make is to allow imagination to make a connection between cause and effect. • For Hume, Aquinas is wrong in making a connection between cause and effect - these are two separate events rather than linked. Its a habit to connect the events. Hume implies 2 possibilities: 1. Universe is simply 'brute fact', we do not require a first cause. 2. A beginning does not automatically mean God was responsible.
