Cosmological constant

Recognizing God’s existence has never been an easy task. From century to century, people continue to search for ways to find proof God does exist. In consulting with Foreman’s (2016) presentation, “Approaching the Question of God’s Existence” the use of proof to illustrate that God does exist is not a virtuous practice and the word “proof” should be avoided when wanting to claim God is real. He makes an effective point that there are some things in the world that have no complete explanation for…

God existence Introduction In answering the question concerning the existence of the living of the greatest being God, some considerations are put into place. Those considerations include discoveries by astronomists and arguments by philosophers. The existence of God is discussed well in books such as the assortments of the world and these are important as they reveal that truly the greatest being existed. It is true that the leading argument about the existence of God was presented by Anselm…

article gave his personal opinion on why he did not believe in God. In his article he gives his opinions of the cosmological, and teleological arguments. The main argument he makes in his article is about the evil and hardship in the world which is suppose to be created by a caring and loving God. Though H.j Mcloskey wanted to have proof and contrary to his opinions of the cosmological and theological arguments along with his case for the problem of evil, his article only points to the fact that…

It wasn’t so much the distinctions made about the types of mystical experience or what he thinks a person should do after having a mystical experience. What stood out to me were the almost universal constants reported by people having had mystical experiences. Supposedly, these include feelings of “love” and a sense of “unity between all things”. Although, it would be rash to alter my convictions based upon this, my biggest criticism of faith is that…

Pascal: Pascal’s Wager essentially revolves around the fact that betting on God’s existence is the best bet that one can make.This is because if one wagers on God’s existence and God doesn’t exist, they lose nothing. However, if he does exist, then the can potentially gain entrance into Heaven which is the ultimate reward. Therefore, betting on God’s existence is the best bet that one can possibly make. Pascal’s Wager excludes the important virtues that support Christianity and serves as a…

Xenophanes A watch doesn’t exist out of nothing. Someone had to create the pieces than mend them together. There must have been a creator the one that makes the watch just as the universe has a creator. The universe didn’t just come from existence there had to be something that made the universe. Xenophanes a wondering poet and philosopher born in Colophon, around the year 570 B.C. believed in one and only one divine God that created the universe. He claimed to neglect the Olympian gods because…

Samuel Clark provides a convincing demonstration in Section (IV) where establishes the existence of an independent and unchangeable being that has always existed. He believes that there are two options when it comes to the explanation of how things have come to be. The first, is his acceptable premise that a “being has always existed in some one unchangeable, and independent” form. (p. 10) The other premise is that “there has been an infinite succession of unchangeable and dependent beings,…

justifications for our beliefs. In the article “On being an Atheist,” H. J. McCloskey proposes multiple arguments to his fellow atheists that the God’s existence is not justifiable or sound. The main arguments McCloskey debates in his article are the Cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the argument of design. He sums up atheistic debate with the problem of evil and how it directly serves against the existence of God. The first thing should be noticed about McCloskey’s…

In Thomas Aquinas, 5 ways to prove the existence of God, I will look his second way “Efficient Cause.” In this proof, Aquinas states that everything is caused or created by other things. He states that every effect has a cause and that cause is an effect of another cause, and so on and so forth. An example to help explain his argument is a coffee table. The creator of a coffee table is the builder or the carpenter. (The cause is the carpenter and the effect was the coffee table). The parents…

God is the cause of the universe” The cosmological argument is a multitude of arguments that have been developed to modern day ideas. These arguments are based on natural theology; this is when someone has knowledge of God based on experiences. It is a philosophical argument that aims to prove the existence of God. The cosmological argument rejects the idea of infant regress because if that is the cause there is no need for God. The origins of the cosmological argument comes from Plato and…
