Evaluation critiquing the cosmological argument:

Hume’s stance is successful because it takes the right stance on the relationship between philosophy and science.

Philosophical analysis is useful to the degree a concept is fully understood. The issue is, we know very little about what time actually is scientifically. So, Aquinas, Leibniz and Craig’s philosophical reasoning about time and infinity is limited. Their claims about the causal principle and PSR are limited for the same reason.

The history of science has proven many metaphysical intuitions false, such as the discovery that space is non-Euclidian or the apparent paradoxes that arise from quantum mechanics.

Science has shown reality to be far stranger than past philosophers thought possible.

Cosmological arguments therefore fail as they rely on the philosophical assumption of the impossibility of an infinite regress which is really a scientific question.
