Regress argument

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,…

Being raised as 1 out of 5 children by a single mother, I have learned to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices my mother has made to be a great parent. And I feel that the only way to show my gratitude to her is by becoming successful and being happy with the decisions I make in life. In the passage “The Good Daughter,” Caroline Hwang gives an account of the obligation she felt when it came to repaying the sacrifice her parents made of moving from Korea to America for her. The main idea in…

Happiness, expressed in an everyday sense, is a mental or a psychological state of being sound and well defined by positive energy or joy. One may feel happy in a different manner, and due to a different reason than another. For example, one may be happy to win a million dollar lottery, whereas another may be happy to just to be alive. It is subjective when it comes to interpreting happiness as it differs with every individual. As a matter of fact, happiness compels an individual to embrace…

Anselm’s Ontological Argument Anselm creates the Ontological argument with one primary goal. He claims to succeed in developing an argument of the existence of God without the requirement of actual proof. Anselm 's reasoning and argument only gives a mere opinion on the topic of the existence of God. He formulates a two part hypothesis consisting of: God exists and God has always existed. Anselm’s Ontological argument expresses accusations that are simply in his favor or his outlook on God. A…

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 actually exist…

deny the status of such as a wonder, it would be a weak argument as even scientists today are left speechless about many natural events. According to William Paley, the world’s wonders are evidence that can lead to the belief in the existence of God through what was later known as the design argument (Paley 40). Although it was developed in the 18th century, Paley’s argument for God through design is still supported now with further arguments of cosmic fine-tuning, as the world is in precise…

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…
