Compatibilidad del Argumento Cosmol\'ogico Kalam con la Ciencia Contempor\'anea

TL;DR

This paper critically examines the Kalam cosmological argument's premises in light of modern physics, concluding that its metaphysical assumptions are incompatible with current scientific understanding of the universe's origins.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive review showing that contemporary physics, including quantum theory and cosmological models, undermines the premises of the Kalam argument.

Findings

Quantum phenomena are indeterministic and non-causal.

Deterministic theories lack a clear causal definition.

Cosmological models like inflation do not require a first cause.

Abstract

The Kalam cosmological argument, of a metaphysical nature, asserts that the universe had a first cause. This study examines the compatibility of its premises through a bibliographic review of advancements in contemporary physics. Quantum theory demonstrates that quantum phenomena are indeterministic and non-causal. Even in deterministic theories, causality lacks a clear definition. Moreover, cosmological models, such as cosmic inflation, suggest that the early stages of the universe do not require a first cause. In conclusion, the premises of the Kalam argument are not compatible with contemporary physics.
