The cosmological argument introduction

The Argument from Cause:

P1    all things that exist have causes

P2    the universe exists

C    the universe must have a cause

C     that cause is God.

 

The consequences game:

At the top of a piece of paper write down a recent occurrence real or not e.g.

I was sent off the rugby pitch

Because

I tripped one of the other team members

Because

He had been hassling me

Because

I had been dating his sister and we had split up

Because

She betrayed me with my best friend

Because

He had bet me he could take her away from me

Because

I had been boasting what a perfect couple we were

Because

I was arrogant

Because

My parents always told me to believe I was right

 

So think of something which might have happened recently from a tooth out to a car accident to being accused of shoplifting to tripping over in the dining hall to how you got to this lesson today. Etc. and trace the trail of causes.

 

No read your list forwards and backwards (backwards starts with because and has two phrases together)

 

Because my parents always told me to believe I was right

I was arrogant

Because I was arrogant

I had been boasting what a perfect couple we were

Because I had been boasting what a perfect couple we were

My best friend had bet me he could take my girlfriend away from me

etc
