Being able to pull out themes and concepts that we have learned in this sociology class was a great way to learn and understand from a different standpoint.

It is proven every day that not every person has this idea. In class, we discussed how the concept of God was too large to fit in our minds, which contradicts the possibility that Descartes could have conceived this idea of a perfect…

Zachary Burnham Philosophy 220 Professor: John Shea September 24, 2015 First Exam The ontological argument for existence of God was introduced by a monk named Anslem.
