God Does Not Exist Exist In Reality
1,305 wordsSaint Anselm's ontological argument seeks to provide an a priori proof (proposition which can be known or justified independent of experience) of God's existence. However, Gaunilo, a contemporary of Anselm and a fellow Catholic, argued that Anselm's ontological argument is invalid, because an argument of the same form could have true premises and a false conclusion therefore, he introduced perfect island argument which is perfectly parallel to ontological argument. In this paper, I will discuss ...

In Part II, Spinoza maintains that there is nothing more to will than individual acts of volition. Thus will is not a "faculty" of God (and this holds for "intellect" as well). It might be objected that without choice, God is not free. Because they follow necessarily from God's essence, things cannot be otherwise than what they are, and this is a limitation of God's power. Spin...

The Existence Of God Approaches Criticisms
1,227 wordsThere are three major arguments that attempt to explain the existence of God. Firstly, it is important to establish a definition of God. According to philosophers God is an infinitely perfect being that upholds a divine unity of ultimate goodness and of ultimate power. God is referred to as Omniscient, Omnipotent and Eternal.

So far from being so, it has, he declares, been the fateful source of three great evils. (Hume, 1977) When God is conceived as single and universal, unity of object calls for unity of faith and ceremonies, and so furnishes designing men with a pretence for discharging on each other "that sacred zeal and rancor, the most furious and impl...
