Question

6.Physics plays a very big role in the assessment of the Kalam Cosmological Argument. Which of the following is true in relation to physics supporting or rebutting the premises of the argument? (mark all that apply)

a. The Kalam’s second premise is supported by the data supporting the Big Bang.

b. Modern Physics suggests the universe may not have a beginning. The Big Bang could be followed by a “Big Crunch”

c. The first premise is challenged by the notion of vacuum fluctuations, where particle behavior is random (and therefore uncaused).

d. Modern physics has disproved theism altogether.

Answer 1

Option a) is true.

Second premise is" Universe began to exist".which big bang theory supports as it also confirms that universe started finite time ago.

Option b) false as its a hypothetical theory which suggests that expansion of the universe is actually reverse and everything will collapse but vast majority of reasearcher doesn't believe in it

Option c) true.

First premise is " whatever begins to exist has a cause."

So it's a causal statement which challenged by quantum fluctuations which suggests that random fluctuations could cause virtual particles which seems to violate causal principle

Option D) false.
