Creation & Big Bang Cosmology
William Lane Craig argues that "the cause of the Big Bang operated at to, that is, simultaneously (or coincidentally) with the Big Bang." Grünbaum responds, and Craig responds back again.

Criticisms of Critiques

Did God Cause the Universe?
If we are going to use theism as an explanation for the alleged fine-tuning of the universe, then we must know what God's plan was and how he did it. It may be that God's plan is beyond human comprehension, but in that case theism cannot be considred an explanation.

Discussion of the Kalam Argument
The existence of God cannot be deduced on the basis of the universe having a first cause.

Eternity & Time in Kalam
The kalam argument must assume a realist view of time in order to generate the puzzle of why the Creator chose to create it "now" rather than "later." Yet, in order to argue that the universe had a cause, it must simultaneously assume a relational view of time in order to conclude that the universe is finite.

Existence of God & the Beginning
The Argument from First Cause dressed up by William Lane Craig. This 1991 article essentially defines the now-famous kalam cosmological argument.  

Is God in Time Prior to Creation?
The implications for the kalam argument of the suggestion that since time is created along with the universe, God is not in time prior to creation.

Inverse Operations & Transfinite Numbers
William Lane Craig claims that critics of his kalam argument have failed to address what he perceives as his "strongest arguments in favour of the impossibility of the existence of an actual infinite, those based on inverse operations performed with transfinite numbers."

Kalam Cosmological Argument
"The kalam argument is not as simple and straightforward as it initially appears to be. Its underpinnings are at least as complicated, and at least as controversial, as those of any other cosmological argument."

Kalam Cosmological Argument: A Rebuttal
The Kalam Cosmological Argument provides nothing to substantiate the claim that there is a creator.

Must the Past Have a Beginning?
Wes Morriston takes a look at the second premise of Craig's argument (i.e. that the universe "began" to exist, and therefore must have a cause). Morriston finds that the "standard criticisms of this argument are correct."

Origin & Creation of the Universe
Craig defends the doctrine that God brought the universe into existence. 

Reply To Professor Craig
Oppy argues that "there is not the slightest reason to think that kalam cosmological arguments should be dialectically effective against reasonable and reflective opponents."

Two Ways to Prove Atheism
Includes a brief response to the causal principle in Craig's kalam cosmological argument.
