On the Cosmos



Today we discussed the question of God's existence.  Is there an uncaused cause?  If all things in our known universe are caused, is there such a thing that had not been?

If there is an uncaused cause, an almighty force that began everything but was not begun, is this great Source of power intelligent?

If the source is intelligent, is it necessarily a being with personality--  with morals and Goodness?  Or is the great, intelligent source an evil thing?

And if the source is an evil thing, how could an evil God create as much Goodness as there appears to be in the world?  For as much evil as there is, there is certainly Goodness-- and if there is Goodness, how  could an evil creator produce such?  

The same question stands: how could an all Good God produce evil?

Or is this an arbitrary God?
