The principle of contingency (or dependency)

If something cannot be caused by nothing (5), neither can anything be caused by what could be nothing, namely, a contingent being. For what could be nothing does not account for its own existence. And what cannot for even its own existence cannot account for the existence of another.
Since it is contingent or dependent for its own being, it cannot be that on which something else depends for its being. Hence, one contingent being cannot cause another contingent being.
This shows the existence of God. It is shows God is personal, rational and moral kind of being (since he engage in these kinds of activities.)
