For the God who created and upholds the universe was not created – he is eternal. He was not 'made' and therefore subject to the laws that science discovered; it was he who made the universe with its laws.

[12] He accepts the biblical doctrine of creation as a truth of faith, not reason. [8]
The universe does exist at time t at which there is no earlier time where the universe existed. Therefore, the universe has a cause. Philosopher Ben Waters has also argued that the Kalam cosmological argument does not require a commitment to the A-theory.
