I am a giant Chinese college student who has a husky voice and I look like I could murder someone at any time. I’m also a pushover who got bullied in my early school years. Although bullying is a terrible thing to happen to anyone, it was probably the defining moment in my life. When I went to elementary school I was the probably the easiest target to be bullied.

Many philosophers and theologians have tried to defend, or substantiate, religious experiences as an argument from religious experience. Two examples are Swinburne’s Principle of Credulity, and Alston’s concept of doxastic practice.

I think that if 'cogito ergo sum ' is the foundation of Descartes ' project in the Meditations, the existence of God is the cornerstone that joins the internal and the external world, making knowledge possible beyond the sole account of the self. Therefore, God 's existence has a major role in the overall argument - it is that which enables the thinker to take the first steps towards the 'unification of sciences '.
