The Argument Applied
Since we can observe the Universe, we must either assume that the Universe has been caused by Something or it has always existed. If we conclude the Unvierse was caused by Something, then what caused it? And, was the Cause of the Universe Eternal or caused by another Cause? We believe the Cause of the Universe is the Uncaused God. Who made God? No one! The Universe did not cause itself, but God caused it!
