Premise is a type of first fundamental law of [[metaphysics]] basically stating that things do not pop into existence from non-being, being only comes from being. This fundamental to metaphysics parallels [[biogenesis]] which is a [[scientific law]] of [[Biology]]. Any other avenue for the premise would be trying to prove something far less obvious instead of supporting the obvious. It is human common sense that being comes from established being. It is a premise that relies on the common experience of humans. Some atheists will actually argue against premise 1 | Premise 1 is a type of first fundamental law of [[metaphysics]] basically stating that things do not pop into existence from non-being, being only comes from being.

It is a premise that relies on the common experience of humans. Some atheists will actually argue against premise 1 but this is usually a fail safe last resort point on complete fabrication and irrational belief. It is considered by defenders of the cosmological argument that when critics question premise 1 the argument has been won. The appeal for existence from non-existence by atheists and naturalists becomes worse than magic. | ||
A very important distinction is that premise 1 is not a physical principle but a metaphysical principle. It only addresses the whole of the universe not the parts within the universe. The [[scientific method]] is a way to explore natural events within the cosmos, but metaphysics (and by extension philosophy) concerns being for beings sake grappling with why there exists a nature in the first place. | A very important distinction is that premise 1 is not a physical principle but a metaphysical principle.
