چکیده:
The theological cosmological argument is one of the theological reasons for the existence of God that has been presented in Islamic theology since the distant past and has recently also been recognized in the philosophical-theological tradition of the West and has become famous as the theological argument. In this writing, by examining views related to the origin of the universe, especially the Big Bang theory, we analyze the theological reason for the existence of God in light of the opinions of physicists, common criticisms in the West, the principle of causality which is one of the premises of this argument and its relationship with quantum physics, the impossibility of actual infinity and its relationship with the infinity of the universe, and also the cosmological implications of the Big Bang.

In this article, by examining views related to the origin of the universe, especially the Big Bang theory, we analyze the theological argument for the existence of God, taking into account the opinions of physicists, common criticisms in the West, the principle of causality which is one of the premises of this argument and its relationship with quantum physics, the impossibility of an actual infinite and its relationship with the non-finitude of the universe, and also the cosmological implications of the Big Bang.
In popular culture, the Big Bang is regarded as a confirmation of faith in God, and people seem joyful that science has finally addressed the confirmation of the most fundamental presuppositions of Western religions, namely the existence of God. In academic circles as well, many philosophers of religion have accepted this cosmology as the basis for an analytical defense of faith in God. William Lane Craig has presented an argument that he calls the Kalam Cosmological Argument.
Even if we accept the law of causality, the truth of the Big Bang theory, the impossibility of an infinite actual chain of causes, Craig's definition of causality, and his insistence on the type of causality applied to the universe as a whole, we do not arrive at the conclusion that God is the cause of the universe.
Quentin Smith, in response to this interpretation, says: Assuming the hypothesis of the necessity theorists is correct, it does not follow that if God must create a living universe, He must create the Big Bang event; because the fact that certain natural laws are metaphysically necessary does not mean they are inviolable.
