metadata.value: In this paper I consider a metaphysical problem arising from the cosmological argument
  for the existence of God, namely: the legitimacy of inference from the immanent
  causes of the universe in the premises to the transcendent cause of the universe
  in the conclusion. I show how Thomas Aquinas solved this problem in his tertia via
  and argue that it is not solved in William Craig’s Kalām Cosmological Argument.
  Then I suggest a possible correction of Craig’s argument in order to cope with this
  difficulty. For this reason, I examine metaphysical presuppositions and in order that
  the conclusion of the proof be valid, I formulate an additional metaphysical premise.
  Then I present an expanded version of Craig’s Kalām Cosmological Argument
  that takes into account the hidden and missed premises. Analysis of the internal
  connections between the metaphysical premises of Craig’s argument shows us that
  it also includes some elements of the design argument.
