Cosmological constant

Aquinas formed The Third Argument on Contingency, he believed that since the universe could have once not existed, there had to be a causable explanation for its existence. if everything in the world proceeds to be contingent than how could anything exist in the first place? Portraying that there had to be a necessity or nessasary being that was the cause of all these contingent things. Could it be god? I very much agree with aquinas, the world we live in is in a very cause and effect manner.…

Zainab Jafri Mr. Ballinger ENG-101- ML 15 September, 2016 Manipulations to Serve Gratifications The tendency to exploit those that are vulnerable is highly practiced by corporations in the United States to gain success. In Michael Moss’s The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food, it is delineated how the food conglomerate, Oscar Meyer, led by executive Bob Drane, manufactured and marketed the famous product that is known as “Lunchables.” In interviews with Drane and his daughter,…

once a reaction is at equilibria both the forward and reverse reactions are occurring at the same rate. For a given Chemical Equilibrium at a given temperature, keq can be calculated that will be constant no matter the initial values of the reactants and products. For a reaction: the equilibrium constant, . When a reaction has not yet equilibrium, or to test whether it has, an equilibrium quotient can be obtained using the same formula to obtain the reaction quotient, to determine whether a…

that can be tested. If the results from this experiment are coherent with the prediction made from hypothesis, they support the hypothesis as being an excellent evidence and explanation, resulting hypothesis to be accepted as a theory. Avogadro’s constant can be an example, and it can fully demonstrate how evidences can make a hypothesis…

The Existence of God This argument about the existence of God, better known as the cosmological argument, begins with the late philosopher Aristotle. Similar to a modern day natural scientist, he believed that we could ascertain more about the world and the very fundamental nature of things within our world just by observing and recording. In many ways Aristotle resemble a modern day artist, a person who goes through life experiencing and watching all different types of energy that’s around,…

In the reading McCloakey talks about proofs. He believes that three proofs move ordinary theist their theism. The first proof that he speaks about is cosmological, which is the chain that every created thing is being caused right now. There is a slight argument over the creation, who is God, having a cause in the beginning. It is believed that if the proofs fail from an observational perspective; then the proof is proven false. How can something that does not need to be given existence…

Have you ever wondered about a perfect society and if it is even possible to create. The song “ Rainbow connection” by Kermit the Frog was about a thought that one day we will find a perfect society and the TED Talk Opinion Editorial by Brian Gonsalves was about how even though we know a perfect society is impossible we still try to find it or create it. Both of the text are about a perfect society, is impossible and we still look for it or try to create it. Both sources write about the…

The Causal Argument strategy is an argument from Aquinas that utilizes the Causal Principle. Aquinas’s argument starts from some known effect, as in relation to cause and effect, and then argues that this particular effect must have been caused by God. Aquinas starts off his argument by asserting the existencce of something. He then states the Causal Principle. Later, Aquinas makes a claim about what must be the sufficient cause of the thing he asserts exists in the first claim. Finally,…

The teleological argument is an argument attempting to prove God’s existence based on the evidence of design and order in the universe. It works based on the belief that there must have been an intelligent designer, and the only being powerful enough to have created the universe is God. The argument is a posteriori and inductive; it looks at our experience of the universe and draws inferences from it. As they are based on inferences, these conclusions are statements of probability rather than…

The Design Argument is used as argument for God’s existence. It states that the universe as we know it, is comprised of complexity, and complex things do not solely come in to being, but must have been intelligently designed. If the universe and its components are complex, there must be someone that intelligently designed them, therefore, there must be a designer and that must be God. The design argument can be understood as being an argument for the existence of God and it achieves this by…
