This is why the Cause in the Kalam is PERSONAL. Even Alex O'Connor (CosmicSkeptic) understands this.
Interesting stuff, especially the part about a temporal effect from an eternal cause.
I thought this was gonna be about "Personalism" as in opposition to "Classic Theism" but I...think Classical Theists would maybe agree here.
(I have to admit I think Classical Theism gets a bit wonky...)
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
