What is the "Cosmological Argument" for God's existence? Be sure to make the premises and conclusion clear. Discuss what you take to be the strongest objection to this argument, and explain why you think it succeeds or fails.

Rather than looking at logical arguments or religious texts, the cosmological argument was derived because of humanity’s ability
