Everything in the universe is contingent and there must be something which is non-contingent, and that something is God, which is a necessary being. This is the ........... argument for the proof of existence of God.
Answer: D
This is the cosmological argument.
The argument from contingency reasons from the existence of a world of dependent, contingent things to a necessary being that explains why anything exists at all. It is Aquinas's third way and Leibniz's argument from sufficient reason.
The ontological argument reasons from the concept of God alone, without appeal to the world. The design (teleological) argument reasons from order and purpose in nature, and the moral argument from moral law or obligation. Only the cosmological argument turns on contingency and a necessary being.
