The [[Christian apologetics]] [[CARM]] poses this question to Tabash:

Natt Slick, the president of the [[Christian apologetics]] organization [[CARM]], poses this question to Tabash:

{{Cquote|Mr. Tabash, in your debate with Phil Fernandez..., you said, “We can’t even speak of a cause [of the universe] because there was no time and space for sequential causation to play out before the [[Big Bang theory|big bang]] occurred.” However, in your debate with Todd Friel at 17:52, you said, “There seems to be no reason why an initial uncaused state of the universe cannot be the self-explanatory cause of everything else.” So, with Mr. Fernandez you say that you can’t even speak of a cause, yet with Friel you say that the cause is uncaused. Can you explain why you contradict yourself in these two different debates?<ref>[https://carm.org/debate-questions-eddie-tabash Debate questions for Mr. Eddie Tabash]</ref>}}
