Omnipotence

Have you ever wondered where we came from or how we got here? Some believe we came about through the single cell theory or evolution, but others believe life was created by some higher being that they call god. The teleological argument know also as the argument from design. The argument is used by theists to persuade the existence of god to agnostics and atheists. It states that god or some intelligent being created the universe or life on earth and keeps it in balance. It tells that an object…

Descartes’ Method of Doubt Descartes’ method of doubt is an epistemological exercise in which all types of opinions and beliefs are examined and questioned, until a one of indubitable certitude is uncovered. Having realised that many beliefs he has held at one time or another were subsequently revealed to be fallacious, and that even a single false belief is enough to destabilise an entire structure of knowledge, Descartes sets out to find a strong foundation with which to build back up the…

One survey was conducted in which people were asked to put a question to God and they have to keep in mind that God answers that then what would they ask? Most of the people want to know from God that “whey there is pain and suffering?” even God can do anything, knows everything and morally perfect. This question arises and philosophers call this as “the problem of evil”. There are two types…

God’s Power The Religious Quest Introduction According to Merriam-Webster theodicy is “defense of God’s goodness and omnipotence in view of the existence of evil” (“Merriam- Webster”, n.d.). Omnipotence is having great power with no limitations. For He is the only one who has the great power because he is all knowing and all good. There is an existence of evil because of original sin, superiority of God, and absence of good. Free Will God lets us choose from good and evil in order for us to…

While historians have debated about Henry VIII’s controversial decision to split England from the Catholic Church, the opinion that Henry was not the one to instigate the process is a rather unknown fact. Anne Boleyn, as a young and healthy girl, planted the ideas for divorce in Henry’s head for a promise of a male heir. When the Catholic Church refused Henry his annulment, Thomas Cromwell suggested a complete break from the Catholic Faith. Nevertheless, while others suggested his major acts as…

Despite so passionately espousing her views on love, Antigone’s actions are extremely honorable. Even though after Antigone’s condemnation, she believed there was “[n]o one to weep for [her]...[n]o tears for the destiny that’s [hers], [and] no loved one [to mourn] [her] death,” she felt fulfilled with “[her] reward” for “[honoring] [Polynices]...well and wisely too” (963, 968-969, 993-995). In one sense of honor, Antigone didn’t receive recognition from the elders of the community, Tiresias,…

and spontaneous. The false self focuses on complying with the wants of the attachment figure thus focusing on their needs rather than the self. The true self develops when one experiences “good enough mothering” as he or she is able to develop omnipotence and feel that he or she is real and has control over the world around him or her to make things happen. The false self develops when the mother is either “too good” of a mother or is not good enough. When the mother is not in tune with the…

alludes to this in The Star-Crossed Renaissance, saying a dramatist can use fate to add depth to a renaissance plot, “assuming that stars dominate the flesh and perhaps the spirit of man” (qtd. in Waters). The stars were believed, through the omnipotence of their God, to have complete control over earthly interactions, both physically and spiritually. Romeo and Juliet had no control over fates fall in love as orchestrated by the stars. However, they are enemies through fortune, and while this…

In the Hindu culture, it is believed that Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge and the arts. It is she who invigorates creation as well as rids the world of ignorance. Brahma, the creator of the universe, also created Saraswati and became her husband. There are many disputes concerning how this goddess came about, but all ideas involve her coming from Brahma in some way. As his consort, he split himself in two from his forehead, mouth, thigh, or rib. Interestingly, Saraswati’s origin parallels…

about the social impact of religion. It is not about the ethics of the Bible or Koran. It is not about religion at all. This debate is simply about the existence of God. That is to say the existence of a “Supreme Being ... includ[ing] attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, intelligence, and eternal and necessary existence ... the creator of the [contingent] universe” I will show that such is likely. I would also like to be clear that my arguments are not entirely or even mostly my own. I will…
