Roxana symptoms that she presents in the vignette are trouble remembering events, loss of recollection of several days, inflated confidence when retroactively determined that she was in a dissociative state, followed by a markedly dazed state following coming out of the dissociative state. She also presents feelings of being “old”, cultural and familial stressors, as…

John Polkinghorne’s ontological argument and Richard Dawkin’s unwavering belief of evolution. Although I believe Polkinghorne’s argument to be undeniably incorrect. I plan to present the strongest evidence for both arguments in an attempt to ultimately see which one is most viable. I may add supporting claims from other philosophers throughout the…
