- Brute fact- universe has always existed must be accepted
- If God=NB=he's in special category=NB has no meaning
- Copleston- R is talking about God in this way=he understands the meaning of NB
- David Hume-BIG LEAP logically from everything in world has a cause=world has a cause
- CA ends with unfamiliar concept beyond human experience
- Nature of God=unknown= can't prove his existence by definition.
- We don't have sufficient evidence to prove cause of universe/if there is a cause
- KANT- idea everything must have 1st cause only applies to our world due to sense experience
- Can't use knowledge we DO possess to answer questions outside our experience.
