The following argument is a very familiar argument—William Lane Craig’s Kalam Cosmological Argument:

P1 Everything that begins to exist has a cause for its existence.

P2 The universe began to exist.

C Therefore, the universe had a cause for its existence.

The predicate in this argument is has a cause for its existence.  All objects in the universe have a cause for their existence.  The argument is true distributively, but it is not true collectively.  It doesn’t follow that since all things in the universe have a cause for their existence that the universe in its entirety has a cause for its existence.  The argument is valid; however, the argument isn’t sound.
