The Properties Of the Cause Of The Universe.

In the 1920's Hubble discovered that Galaxies were receding from each other.This meant that the Universe was expanding predicted by Einsteins theory of relativity.This revelation has astounding implications.That if we reverse the expansion,we end up with an infinitely dense Singularity.This where the Big bang theory originates from.
Hubble's discoveries have led to the undeniable fact that our universe had a beginning some 15 billion years ago.

Philosopher William Lane Craig who has championed the Cosmological Argument has showed that the Cause of the universe must have the following properties.

Non-Temporal and Non-spatial

As the Cause of Space and Time,the Cause of the universe cannot be bound by space and time and hence must be non-temporal.It must transcend space and time.

Changeless and Immaterial.

Something can only be timeless if its unchanging.Something can only be changeless only if its immaterial

Very Powerful
Since it created all matter,energy space and time the cause of the universe must possess an alot of power.

Personal

Why should the cause of the universe be personal
1. The only things we know that are immaterial are abstract objects such as numbers and the mind.But abstract objects do not stand in Causal relations.Therefore the transcedant Cause of the universe must be a Mind.
2. Free Agent or Impersonal Mechanical Cause
Trying to account for a temporal effect from a timeless Cause which is mechanical is problematic. if it was a mechanical cause,then the Cause could never exist independent from its effect,for if the sufficient condition of the effect is given,then the effect must be given as well.
The only way for the cause to be timeless but for its effect to begin in time is for the cause to be a personal agent who freely choses to create an effect without any determinant conditions.
