Everything we know in this world is "contingent," has a cause outside of itself. Therefore the universe, which is just a huge pile of such contingent entities, would itself have to be dependent on some cause outside of itself. Something had to make the Big Bang happen-but what? What could that be but something outside of nature, a supernatural, noncontingent being that exists from itself.
