Solid walkthrough of the Kalam argument and the infinite regress problem. The point about inanimate matter never producing on its own is key, I've noticed most materilists sidestep this by invoking quantum fluctuations but that just moves the goalposts since the quantum field itself would need a cause. What I appreciate here is keeping focus on what we actually observe versus abstractions, makes the logical chain way more accessible than typical philosophy papers.
Great write up! Must be something in the air as I coincidentally have 3 posts related the Cosmological Argument ready to go for the next couple weeks🤣.
It’s one of the strongest arguments for the necessity of a personal, single God once it clicks. But like you said, so many present it in complex ways so it’s often hard to grasp initially. Well done!

Lack of clarity is one problem I've had with philosophers for a long time. Most today get too academic, and few can understand them.

I'll have to check them out. :)
