Teleological argument

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 be citing arguments made by men much more intelligent than I. I will do…

In his dialogue Timaeus, Plato discusses the nature of the physical world as well as its purposes and properties. He claims that since nothing becomes or changes without some cause, then the cause of the universe must be a demiurge or god. He goes on to claim that since the universe is fair, this shows that god looked to the eternal model in order to create it. According to Plato, god needed to look at something in order to create the universe and the eternal perfect world of forms was his…

I had a printout that outlined my topic (hydraulic fracturing), my opinion on the topic, supporting arguments, evidence for the arguments, and my counter arguments with a refuting counter argument. I used the feedback I received from my classmates and Dr. Pisano to review my outline with a new perspective. I was then able to rework my outline and add any additional information to complete this task…

Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) is a publicly traded company with millions of shareholders, over 30,000 employees, and over 57 million customers. In culmination hundreds of millions of people invest their trust and confidence in Sprint. As such, the success of this organization must be ensured in order to protect the interests of all. In order to effect such an assurance a comprehensive evaluation of every element of the organization should be conducted. It is a monumental task that no one person…

The argument for the existence of God will always give rise to infinitive points of view. St. Anselm (c. 1033- April 21, 1109) was an Italian monk who later went on to become the Archbishop of Canterbury developed one of the most notable Ontological Arguments of all time. St. Anselm proposes that if God can be thought of and perceived, then he must exist. Anselm defines God as that than which nothing greater can be conceived—meaning no one can think of anything better than God. Although…

The argument for God’s existence has remained a constant topic of conversation, and at the head of much controversy. An argument attempting to prove the existence of God can be found through the Cosmological Argument, known also by its informal name as the “first cause argument”. The argument raises the issue of a first cause and where all things in the universe originated. This issue serves importance by highlighting conflicts humanity faces when questioning the origin of all things, and…

The mistake made by some is how each sees God differently and believe in God. Lewis shared in "The Rival Conceptions of God" that practicing atheist believe that all other religions are wrong, no exceptions (Lewis, 2009). Lewis shared that humanity was thought to be divided into majority and minority. Lewis shared that the majority believe there is a God or Gods that exist and a few, the minority, believe there is no God (Lewis, 2009). Christianity is among the majority which includes Greeks,…

Pascal, presents an argument for believing in God based on an individual getting the best afterlife. He argues that we all must make a wager either for or against the existence of God. This wager which will result in either heaven, hell, or no consequence. Based on Pascal’s premises, I believe his argument is unsound. This paper will be divided into three sections in which I will discuss my evaluation of Pascal’s Wager. In Section One, I will briefly summarize Pascal’s argument. In Section Two,…

Through the Argument of Possibility and Necessity, the existence of God is proven. Possibility is having the tendency to stop existing or being contingent. Necessity is a form from itself, which could not possibly have failed to exist. These two concepts and forms of being and the way they interact represent the existence of God. Thomas Aquinas, medieval theologian and philosopher, asserted and taught Five Ways to prove the existence of God. One argument of these five that I find to be…

cosmological argument for the existence of God The purpose of cosmological arguments is to start with the subject the universe and trace it back to the root that being the cause which according to Leibniz is an infinite necessary being. Profound philosophers used this method in order to enable the general public and academics to seeing the correlation between the universe, and its source God. Leibniz’s main objective was to take Aquinas 's foundation within his cosmological argument and tweak…
