Introducing Bernard Lonergan’s Philosophical Proof for God
http://www.strangenotions.com/tag/bernard-lonergan/ http://www.strangenotions.com/tag/bernard-lonergan/ (scroll down for the link to part 1 of the series)
His arguments largely build on the assumptions that General Relativity accurately describes the macro-scale universe and that the telescope data backing the Lambda-CDM model[2] are being interpreted correctly. However, that's a starting point familiar to most who work in the field of physical cosmology, so I don't think they're unreasonable assumptions to start out.
Also, his arguments are certainly not beyond criticism, but Fr. Spitzer is intellectually honest and overall he offers a great deal of good food for thought.
