Cosmological constant

Anselm’s Ontological argument argues that there is a God. Anselm argue is meaning there is nothing better than God. If the mind can think of such thing, therefore God is real. He argues that if God can be thought of he has to exist. That only someone such as a fool argues and states that there is not a God. If the fool can argue saying that there is no God he must believe in God for he thought of the idea that there is a God. Anselm then uses the example or analogy of the painter, for a fool to…

Baruch Spinoza Concerning God Baruch Spinoza was a famous philosopher whose most famous work is ethics. In ethics Spinoza tries to reinvent religion. Part one tries to teach his philosophical notion of God, and how God is everything. Spinoza does his teachings through definitions, explanations, proposals, proofs, and truths. He ties all these together in a mathematical sense; however, Spinoza’s notion of God is complete nonsense. He contradicts himself, two propositions can be debunked, and his…

assumes that the conflicts he makes only can't present a barrier for the nearness of God. McCloskey battled against the three magical confirmations, cosmological conflict, philosophical dispute, and the dispute from diagram. The Cumulative case that he shows takes the Cosmological, Theological, and Moral Arguments and amasses them. The Cosmological case makes a claim for the nearness for God, the Theological case is the shrewd case, and the Moral case is morally incredible. All together,…

and arguments of theist. In the beginning of his article, he speaks on the arguments as “proofs” and tries to make an objection as to why these arguments cannot be considered concrete in the case for God. These proofs that he speaks of are the Cosmological argument, which argues for a creator, the Teleological argument or the argument from design, which argues that the universe shows signs of intelligent design and divine purpose. However, in response to McCloskey’s claims, there are things…

Among the main arguments for the presence of God is referred to as cosmological argument and it affirms that the flora and fauna that make the world were not capable existing on their own and therefore there ought to be something that brought them into their right place. The initial cause for the world to begin was God according to this argument. Since God was the main source of the universe’s presence, it has therefore been concluded that God really exists. This argument has however been met…

What did you think of Craig's Kalam Cosmological Argument? Did you think it was a sound argument? Why or why not? Craig Kalam’s Cosmological argument argues in favor of the existence of God. The premises for the argument are as follows, 1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause 2. The universe began to exist 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause. In essence, how could the universe (something) suddenly appear out of nothing? His argument claims that it is not possible, as God, an…

Thousands of stories are written and published every year but only few become ingrained into millions of readers minds. What makes a story so memorable? For most good books and short stories, there is always a universal message or theme that draws interest and captivates an audience. Jackson’s “The Lottery” is no exception. “The Lottery” is celebrated as one of the most controversial and brilliant short stories of the 20th century. Using characters, symbols, and irony, “The Lottery” shares…

which has four binding sites for biotin or biotinylated derivatives with extraordinary affinity. Biotin can be chemically coupled to a binder molecule (e.g., a protein, DNA, hormone, etc.) without disturbing the interaction with its target molecule by a procedure called biotinylation. Avidin can then be exploited to “sandwich” between the biotinylated binder and a targeting molecule or probe. Avidin was also coupled with a functional moiety in some cases. Through the avidin-biotin system, we can…

For the atheist, acknowledging the possibility of a necessary being that is the ultimate cause for the universe would suggest that they do, in some respect, acknowledge God’s existence. The cosmological argument states that there must be a first cause for the existence of the universe and that everything in the universe is contingent on that first cause. For Christians, that first cause is God, the creator of the universe and everything in it…

Freedom vs Causality In the argument of freedom vs. causality, causality follows the laws of nature, which implies that nothing happens without cause, in other words meaning, life as we know it is just one big cycle of cause and effect. Freedom, on the other hand, allows for spontaneity, meaning not every effect has a prior cause, thus allowing for new events to occur. So, the argument, or rather question, is: which one of these is true…freedom, or causality? With freedom comes free will, a…
