The [[Abraham]]ic religions of [[Christianity]], [[Judaism]] and [[Islam]]  maintain that [[God]], who is eternal, supernaturally created the universe.

A classic [[Arguments for the existence of God|argument for the existence of God]] is the [[cosmological argument]]. According to the cosmological argument, every event in our [[universe]] necessarily has a cause. However, it is impossible that there should be an unending chain of causes going back. Therefore, there necessarily must be a cause ''distinct'' from the universe as we know it which is capable of causing all things and is itself uncaused. Atheism denies that that [[First Cause|first cause]] is God.  

A classic [[Arguments for the existence of God|argument for the existence of God]] is the [[cosmological argument]]. According to the cosmological argument, every event in our [[universe]] necessarily has a cause. However, it is unsatisfactory that there should be an unending chain of causes going back. Therefore, there necessarily must be a cause ''distinct'' from the universe as we know it which is capable of causing all things and is itself uncaused. Atheism denies that that [[First Cause|first cause]] is God. This version of the argument has a flaw in that it assumes all events have a cause, when this is known not to be true.
