    The cosmological arguments are inductive arguments based on an ‘a posteriori’ premise‚ which‚ despite having been introduced many years ago‚ continue to be prevalent today. An early example of the argument is within ‘Timaeus’‚ in which Plato proposed the idea that anything that has been created must be created by a cause. These arguments are intended to prove the existence of the God of Classical Theism by explaining that God must be the first cause of the universe; the being setting the world into

    HISTORY OF COMPUTERS Ancient era Suanpan (the number represented on this abacus is 6‚302‚715‚408) Devices have been used to aid computation for thousands of years‚ mostly using one-to-one correspondence with fingers. The earliest counting device was probably a form of tally stick. Later record keeping aids throughout the Fertile Crescent included calculi (clay spheres‚ cones‚ etc.) which represented counts of items‚ probably livestock or grains‚ sealed in hollow unbaked clay containers.[1][2]
