Do you agree with the ontological argument for god’s existence? Why or why not? 1. Introduction For the vast majority of human history our intellectual power has been directed at trying to prove the existence of gods, I will be looking at an argument for god/s existence called the Ontological argument. I will start by giving the history of this argument and how it was built, and then I will be giving my own personal opinion on the ontological argument. 2.1 What is an ontological argument? The…

U – UNIQUE Unique – Being one of a kind, unlike anyone else. “The greatness of art is not to find what is common but what is unique” – Isaac Singer. God spent time creating you, and he took his time because you are unique! Yes, you have a super power, and that super power is that there is no one else like you, anywhere. There are seven billion people in the world but only ONE you, and if you being unique isn’t important enough, then I don’t know what else is. God made you for you. He could…

Everyone has to believe in something. Even if you say I don’t believe in anything that is a belief. I believe in something that is widely accepted and unacceptable internationally. A topic that is debated around the world is the topic of a higher being of the spiritual world. Each superior being has different names for each culture. For my culture he is known as god. In this narrative I will explain that I believe in god and why. Some people don’t believe in god because they can’t see him.…

The Existence of God The existence of God has been debated through the history of man. Many philosophers argue that they may or may not be a God or the idea that many different Gods exist. But if you think logical you will realize the debate on God existence can be seen as a myth for many reason. The lack of knowledge or the limited knowledge of God existing leaves behind a gap in history. Therefore, the possibly idea of finding a missing part of history is impossible. The reality of it all is…

Docetism is one of the several heresies of the Church. It is the belief that the humanity of Jesus is mere a disguise, and actually Jesus is God. This belief is against many doctrines that the Church agrees with. Docetism denies the Incarnation because it is believed that Jesus is an image of God, and God does not need to be made into a human. The belief is based on that “matter was evil, and hence that God would not take on a material body”. Since “Christ was born without any participation of…

They are putting down other people's belief in God even though they do not want to be attacked themselves. Atheist says that there is no tangible proof of God and His existence. New Atheist has a lost intellectual foundation borrowed from Judeo Christian belief with the sense of morality. New Atheism focuses on the how but not the why of creation. In the why you can find God and Jesus. With the how you are only left with questions about why it is the way it is. Old Atheist considered themselves…

Humans are obsessed with questions of existence; we often ponder the purpose of life, the purpose of the world, and the purpose of everything that exists. Although the true, scientifically-proven purpose of the universe is difficult to find, humans most often refer to the idea of God; more, to the connection with God. However, what truly establishes the continuing connection between God and humankind? The Genesis, the holy book, is an example of a religious text that has forever changed and…

In CWID101 I have learned quite a few things that I have absorbed and used through out the semester. Ranging from study skills to philosophical ideas that I frequently find myself pondering as I go about my day. One idea that sticks out the most is Soren Kierkegaard’s Leap of Faith. Soren Kierkegaard definitely has opened my eyes to what it truly means to take a “leap of faith.” This is one of the hardest things anyone will ever do in their life, and I can personally testify to that. According…

Cosmological argument The cosmological argument is a well known argument that attempts to prove the existence of God. The most common leader of the argument is Thomas Aquinas who devised Five Ways to prove the existence of God, which he referred to as “demonstration.” It comes to the conclusion that God exists from posteriori because it focuses on cause and effect to come to an assumption that God exists, which contrasts with the priori approach to the ontological argument. Linear religions…

In Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae article one and two, he demonstrates the concepts of: goodness in human actions, man’s objective of happiness, and how a human’s good action contributes to partaking in God. The Aquinas’ main argument is simply that what actions make it good or bad. In first article begins with the question regarding if our actions we as humans are good. The answer that Aquinas provides is a yes due to that every act of a man does is good and evil does not come from the…
