A:The cosmological argument for the existence of God states that every finite and contingent thing has a cause, but that causes can not go back in an infinite chain, so there must be a First Cause, an uncreated creator. This argument is no longer very often used formally because of its many limitations and problems, although there remains an underlying assumption among Christians as to its truth. Other religions, even to a certain extent Judaism, do not dwell on the necessity of a divine creator to the extent that Christianity does, so it is true to say that Christians need an uncaused first cause. The cosmological argument can even be restated so as to prove that God need not exist:

1.Whatever begins to exist has a cause.

2.The Universe began to exist.

3.Therefore, the Universe had a cause.

Another Answer:

Not just Christians as it is known as the universal, immutable Law of Cause and Effect. Taken to its logical 'beginning' there must be a first cause. Even science to day is looking for the 'God particle' and some think they may have evidence of it:

The law of cause and effect states that:

Every effect has a specific and predictable cause.

Every cause or action has a specific and predictable effect.

What created the thing that expanded the universe if something was created out of nothing and if someone created it what created that person?

A:The question mixes a little bit of science with a little bit of religion, making a coherent answer somewhat difficult.The scientific consensus is explained by Stephen Hawking, who says (The Grand Design) that because there are laws such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.The religious position is known as the First Cause. This says that everything must have a cause, all the way back to the first cause. However, the "first cause" does not need a cause - it simply exists forever. For Christians, this first cause is God.

What is a good cause Christians can help out in?

This is not only for Christians but for everyone. :) First, you need to choose a cause. Examples are helping homeless dogs and cats and kids with cancer. There are TONS of other things you can do! Look some up on the Internet. Next you need to choose how you want to help. For example, you could raise a puppy to become a guide dog to help handicaps. Or you could train a dog to become a therapy dog to help sick children, adults, and the elderly. Of course, there is MUCH more you can do. Make sure you look up websites on search engines. Thanks for being interested! :)
