What does the cosmological argument say about everything in the universe?

  1. Everything is infinite

  2. Everything has a purpose

  3. Everything needs a cause

  4. Everything will eventually end

The correct answer is: Everything needs a cause

The cosmological argument proposes that everything in the universe was caused by something else. Option A is incorrect because the argument does not suggest that everything is infinite, but rather that everything has a cause. Option B is incorrect because the argument does not speak to the purpose of everything in the universe, but rather the cause. Option D is incorrect because the argument does not make any claims about the ending of everything in the universe, but rather focuses on the cause. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
