The cosmological argument is the notion that God created the universe and that there is always a cause and an effect. The three main parts to the cosmological argument is the uncaused cause, unmoved mover and possibility and necessity/possibility and contingency. There are 5 ways in Aquinas's version of the cosmological argument, however I'm only discussing the 3 that I stated as they are the main parts of the argument as urban dictionary only let's me type a limited quantity of characters.
Uncaused cause (4 premises and a conclusion)
• Everything has a cause
•Every cause has a cause
• This cannot go back forever
•Therefore there must be an uncaused cause which doesn't have a cause.
•The uncaused cause is what we understand as God
Unmoved mover (2 premises and a conclusion)
•Everything that has been moved by something and that mover has been moved by something else.
•This chain cannot go back forever or movement would not have started in the first place.
•Therefore there must be an unmoved mover which isn't itself moved. This unmoved mover must be God
Possibility and necessity/possibility and contingency:
This one is simple. A contingent being is a being which needs a cause and a necessary being is the opposite meaning a being doesn't need a cause. It is believed that God is the necessary being who created the world.

Now that you know the fundamentals of the cosmological argument, read up the teleological argument (the argument from design)

Get the Cosmological argument mug.Someone that lives to argue. There's a difference between getting your point across or letting somebody know you mean business and living to argue without having a legitimate reason, point, or cause.
The mouthy instigator was interested in dollar signs and looking like she was always in the right, so everything in life for her was an oppurtunity to try and show off how she was right and the other person was wrong, because she lived to argue and make money, there wasn't much more to her than that, she was about as plain as an old tin pail gets. An argumentative person usually wants to turn the world into them.

Get the Argumentative mug.A squabble whereby you require your opponent to give you a blowjob at da same time as he/she is presenting his side of da dispute.
One of da main advantages of an oral argument is dat you don't even hafta listen to your opponent's whiny monologue because he/she unavoidably has his/her mouth --- shall we say --- "otherwise occupied" at da time. What you can then do is to eventually suggest dat said grumbler engage in "regular" sex wif you in order to both satisfy your "pleasure me while telling me your side of da disagreement" stipulation and free up his/her mouth to do da yacking. Naturally he/she may not wish to do so, and thus he/she may just allow you to win said dispute without further debate, since said concession may seem less offensive/upsetting/humiliating than submitting his/her pelvis to you.

Get the nice argument mug.A more refined form of argumentation from simpler times. Unlike modern argument, where one party seeks to assert emotional dominance over the other through the employment of manipulative tactics, classical argument involves the pure exchange of information and growth of one's own understanding of the world. The outcome of a classical argument is the mutual growth of logical fluency, where both parties are able to recognize flaws in their own reasoning and leave with an improved philosophical maturity.
