The Kalam Cosmological Argument (hereafter kalam) has recently enjoyed considerable scholarly attention, mainly due to William Lane Craig's hand in its revitalization. Pithy and concise, the argument holds that (i) whatever begins to exist has a cause, (ii) the universe began to exist, (iii), therefore, the universe has a cause (Craig, 2008, p.111). Commenting on the newfound interest in this argument, Quentin Smith (2007) notes that "a count of the articles in the philosophy journals shows that more articles have been published about Craig's defense of the kalam argument than have been published about any other philosopher's contemporary formulation of an argument for God's existence" (p.183).
