Cosmogony

In this paper, I will explain the rationale of the cosmological argument and it’s objections as presented by Hume in the Dialogues Concering Natural Religion. My conclusion is that the cosmological argument ultimately fails to prove the existence of a self-caused being. I will show that is unreasonable to claim that there need be an explanation for the whole infinite series of a cause and effect chain. The character Demea primarily says that everything has a reason and utilizes this…

According to St. Thomas Aquinas the cosmological argument and teleological argument as stated in the “Kalam” basically states “that everything that begins to exist has a cause of existence, the universe began to exist, therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence.” This basically means that that everything happens for a reason. In my opinion I completely agree with this logic. With the way that the world is today the must be some type of Ultimate Reality (God) that has plans for us as…

Kalam’s Cosmological argument dates back to medieval Muslim philosophers. Kalam’s argument is an argument for the existence of the universe to the existence of God. William Kane Craig is promoting modern day versions, which attempt to overcome the problems of earlier versions. The differences and similarities between Kalam’s Cosmological Argument, Aquinas's and Paley's design arguments can be examined to determine that it has failed to overcome the difficulties present in Paley’s and Aquinas…

Homer served as some of the earliest theories of cosmology and cosmogony. After Xenophanes of Colophon understood their interpretation of the kosmos, he rejects many of their ideas and asserts his claim that God is anthropomorphic and does not interfere with human life. In this paper, I will examine the differences between the views of Hesiod and Homer and those of Xenophanes. To begin, both Hesiod and Homer establish a cosmology and cosmogony centered around the idea that the Gods both created…

Judaism’s Cosmogony is basically the same as Christianity where the Almighty God Created everything in seven days. Judaism has a lot of myths and figures but the most important ones are Abraham and Moses. The founder of Judaism, Abraham who is considered the father. Abraham made a contract with God to search for the promise land which is now Israel. Moses, on the other hand, is equally important because he was the one who saved the Jews from the Egyptians and provided the Torah and the laws of…

One of the most commonly told origin myth is the myth of cosmogony. This myth endeavors to explain the origin of universe as well as the mankind. Various stories are told in various generations to explain the origin of the earth. One aspect is that, however varied this stories might be, they end up with some commonalities…

a deep understanding of the evolution of the Earth. Both Myth and Science live together. What is a myth? It’s a story that explains some legends or natural phenomenon or else like, for example, the Creation of the Earth and Human Being. The cosmogonies are mythic or scientific theories that explain the universe creation. Each mythology has their…

(Ions). At this time upper and lower Egypt were united under one ruler. Contrary to Heliopolitan cosmogony, Memphite cosmogony believes the supreme creator is Ptah. All the info archaeologist obtained was from the Shabaka Stone. The great god Ptah also goes by name Nun or Naunet (female form of nun), Ptah is the father of Atum and the chaotic waters which Atum came from. This cosmogony also believes Atum is merely an agent of the great Ptah. Thus, Atum followed Ptah’s orders and Atum spat…

changing world. The art of oral tradition, or historical storytelling, has been the main resource for the continuous education of children in these cultures, and will continue to play a vital role in the progression of their civilizations. The arts, cosmogony, music, and agricultural influences of these cultures are related in many different ways, and all contribute to their distinguishing…

goddess are in the sky, far away from us, and focuses on gods being inside us. He moves towards this idea because of his belief that “the nature of things is water.” Thales believes that everything is made from/of water. This is different to the cosmogony beliefs that the mythical world view believes in. The mythical world view would put creating into a myth while Thales says we are created from water. Thales using the word water is important because Thales is putting physical proof into our…
