Cohen on the Kalam Cosmological Argument

Yishai Cohen raises three related objections to the kalam cosmological argument . Firstly, Cohen argues that, if the argument against the possibility of an actual infinite, which is used to support the kalam cosmological argument, is sound, then a predetermined endless future must also be impossible . Secondly, Cohen argues that the possibility of a predetermined endless future entails the possibility of an actual infinite . Finally, Cohen maintains that Robert C . Koons’ Grim Reaper paradox shows that a predetermined endless future is impossible . I intend to show that Cohen’s three arguments are not sound and that the possibility of an endless future is not a thorn in the kalam cosmological argument . keywords: Actual infinite, Yishai Cohen, Grim Reaper paradox, kalam cosmological argument, Wes Morriston, potential infinite .
