- David Hume
- All our knowledge can be reduced to some experience that our senses have provided
- We think we know a lot more about the external world than we actually do
- We allow imagination to make a connection between cause and effect
- Aquinas is wrong to make a connection between cause and effect
- Therefore does not prove God caused the universe to exist
- Universe does not have to have a beginning, but if it did, does not mean anything caused it
- No experience of the creation of the universe so cannot speak meaningfully of it
- Wasn't sufficient evidence to prove the cause of the universe or even that the universe was created
