Logical Arguments for the Existence of God 91 has demonstrated that everything in this universe impacts other things and is impacted by other things, which is required for its survival. In other words, nothing in this world can exist by itself. This very fact alludes to the verity that this universe cannot exist by itself and is sustained by a Higher Being who has judiciously organised and set everything in its appropriate place in this world. Sixth, there is a design or arrangement in this universe which demands a Conscious Designer; that is not the case as far as God is concerned.

By contrast, the question of final cause vis-à-vis God does not arise, for He is the One and the Only, the First and the Last (or Alpha and Omega), Self-Sustaining and Independent, and comprehending all excel- lences.
