Abstract:William  Lane  Craig’s  much–discussed kalamcosmological argument for God’s existence is intended to provide support for a particular theistic  explanation  of  the  origin  of  the  universe.I argue here that Craig’s theistic  account  of  the  origin  of the  universe entails  two  contradictions  and hence   should   be   rejected.The   main   contribution   of   the   paper   is   the identification     of     some     relatively     straightforward     but     previously unrecognized problems in Craig’s hypothesis that the beginning of the universe was a temporal effect of a timeless personal cause.
