THThe argument from contingency states that everything in the universe is contingent, meaning it exists but could have failed to exist and depends on something else for its existence. An infinite regress of contingent causes cannot ultimately explain why anything exists at all, because adding infinitely many dependent things never produces a self-sufficient explanation. Therefore, philosophy argues that there must exist a necessary being—one that exists by its own nature and depends on nothing else—to ground and explain the existence of all contingent reality.
