One-sided argument

are known as “Agnostic” who have the belief that the existence of God is unknown and unknowable. As there is no physical evidence of the existence of God references that I will make will be based off of “The Design Argument” by Neil Manson, as well as a common objection to said argument and a way to refute that said counter to the subject, because I strongly believe that God does in fact exist…

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…

claiming that benevolently lying restricts people to acquire the real information about their situation (Hill 264), so benevolently lying infringes the autonomy of the one who is deceived. Then, his lists out two possible objections of his claim. One of the objections is that an agent needs to lie in order to make the deceived one living autonomously. This objection implies that telling the truth can sometimes infringe others’ autonomy, so a benevolent lie is needed in these situations. I think…

a purpose to fulfill. Theologians base this idea off of one true creator and defend him using three complex and well thought of arguments. The first of three major arguments For God are the Cosmological Arguments. These ideas pertain to how the universe and things in the universe function. The first is that everything in the universe is put into motion by something else. Nothing just randomly gets up and moves, something…

(1033-1109), who was the Catholic archbishop of Canterbury and a Doctor of the Church, first created the Ontological Argument. This is among one of the strangest arguments as well as also being one of the most debated. The ontological argument is notable due to its claim of the existence of God by basing its evidence solely on human reason and without any…

The Ontological argument, written by philosopher St. Anselm of Canterbury in his book the Proslogion in the eleventh century, is a metaphysical argument for the existence of God in reality. In this essay I will discuss the validity of this argument. In this text Anselm states that the concept of God has the necessary and sufficient condition of being maximally perfect- ‘that than which a greater cannot be thought’- and that, since existing in reality is greater than existing only conceptually,…

teleological argument, or the argument from design, is an argument for the existence of God. The argument forms around the idea that due to the way in which human beings and the world function, it only makes sense that there is a designer and/or creator to have caused them to exist in their current relations to each other. This paper explores the design argument against evolutionist objections as well as an objection to the argument based on the eyes blind spot. The teleological argument…

In his 1968 article, McCloskey made a strong case against the existence of God, while defending his stand on atheism. His arguments are centered around the three proofs of that religious people use to explain why they believe in God. Over and above, he argues unapologetically against faith, and questions the existence of a good God in such a world full of evil and moral decadence. The question of morality does not escape him too, and in his submission is that there is more solace in atheism than…

to McCloskey’s Article Shamyra Thompson Liberty University Introduction In the short article On Being an Atheist, H.J. McCloskey discusses several arguments pertaining to the whether or no there is a God and what one believes to be evil. McCloskey also refers to the arguments as “proof” as well as implied several times that they can’t define or establish the existence of God. In the light of Foreman’s comments in regards to the question of God’s…

These three philosophers Anselm, Guanilo and Thomas Aquinas present their arguments about the existence of God that not everyone would agree with their view of how God exists. One philosopher Thomas Aquinas gives the better evidence in opinion because he argues that everything that has breath must have a creator. Aquinas opinion is the only thing that makes sense of what these three philosophers say about the existence of God. God does exist not for what these three philosophers say, but God…
