Three Days God Exists
639 wordsNelson Pike wrote the article Divine Omniscience and Voluntary Action as an elaboration of Boethius' Divine Foreknowledge and Freedom of the Will. Pike thought that Boethius had a valid, logical argument that was just not thought out fully. Boethius stated that perhaps there is a lack of free will if God already knows what is and will happen. However, in order for this argument to be valid, some assumptions need to be made. The first assumption is that God exists. Second is the view of God as om...

Idea Of God Existence Of God
930 wordsFor many years philosophers have disputed argued, dissected and used countless of other devices in order to prove God's existence. Is there someone or something that has been there since time started? All my life I was raised to believe that God exists. As I grew older, wiser, and take philosophy classes, I have heard about different beliefs that could of possibly persuaded me to lean towards the opposite beliefs that I have originally believe in. In school and in books I learn about philosopher...

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 ...

God Exists Natural World
384 wordsTo say that God does exist, is to say that we can prove God exists by describing some proof we have of this statement, or at least a being with what we think some of the attributes of a God would be. Since we cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that God exists we have to infer certain things about how we came to be. We can do this by using terms such as motion and causality. These are terms that attempt to explain that for every action there must be a cause, or chain of events, In this case, hu...

Greater Can Be Conceived Existence Of God
1,591 wordsThe Ontological argument is a group of different philosophers arguments for the existence of God. "Ontological" literally means talking about being and so in this case, that being is the existence or being of God. The main component of the Ontological argument can be found in the Anselm's "Proslogion" which is a short work that tries to demonstrate both the existence and the nature of God. His main aim in writing the Proslogion is not to directly prove the existence of God but to moreover, to sh...

God Must Exist Existence Of God
1,022 wordsAquinas, Anselm, Paley and Kant all famous philosophers, have proven that god exists; yet people still question Gods existence. As Anselm said, We are like students who, unable to solve a mathematical problem, are given the answer to it and then discover they can reason out why that answer is correct. For thousands of years, philosophers have given evidence proving the existence of God. The evidence at hand should prevail but some philosophers beg to differ. In this paper I will try to go over a...

Existence Of God Evil In The World
1,006 words... ina's talks about first, leads to his analysis of sense objects, second, the notion that the existence of these objects requires a finite series of causes and ultimately a First Cause, or God. Aquinas first proof was the proof from motion. This covers the area where Aquinas believes that nothing can be transformed from a state of potentiality by something that is also in a mere state of potentiality. An example would be the domino. Picture a particular domino, it has the potential to be move...

God Exists Physical World
960 wordsthe Second Meditation. Be sure to discuss how this argument addresses the paradox with which the passage starts. Is this argument really about wax? Explain. Descartes is trying to establish his mind more clearly through the wax. He does not yet know what he is. He is still trying to find what "I" am he doesn't know. He discusses the characteristics of the wax, its color, shape, smell, taste, feel, and how it sounds. He also discusses how when he places it over fire all of these characteristics c...

God Must Exist Existence Of God
1,119 wordsExistence of God Does God exist? Theology, cosmological, teleological and ontological arguments are all have ways to prove the existence of God. With all of these great arguments how can one deny that there is a God. There is a God and with these reasons I will prove that. There are two types of theology discussed in chapter nine of Kessler "Voices of Wisdom, " revealed and natural theology. Revealed theology comes from such sources as the Bible and according to St. Thomas Aquinas gives us the k...

World War Ii Problem Of Evil
1,682 words... Also, if God lives within our linear time, he cannot know what we will do in the future. The future cannot depend on the past. For example, it is a fact that the Titanic sank before World War II. World War II happening depends on the Titanic sinking. However, it does not make sense to say that World War II is a cause of the Titanic sinking. The argument does not make sense and hence, God could not have divine foreknowledge while existing in linear time as humans do because foreseeing the fut...

Living Things Thomas Aquinas
974 words? St. Thomas Aquinas has written several important works. Some of them are: The Disputed Questions on the Power of God, Exposition of Dionysius on the Divine Names and Disputed Questions on Spiritual Creatures. Most of Aquinass works have been written to try to prove the existence of God. Aquinas has been a firm believer that everything had to have a creator andthe only possible solution would be something called God. It is with this idea that Aquinas Third Way was written. In his De aeternitate...

798 wordsDescartes and Berkeley on Skepticism About the Senses The philosophers George Berkeley and Renee Descartes both had strong opinions on skepticism about the senses. In this paper, I will explain their philosophies and why they are different and then evaluate them. In his Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes suggests that the senses are like a friend who has lied to you once and whom you therefore cannot trust, at least not until you? ve proven that he or she is not an evil genius. The possi...

Existence Of God Book Of Genesis
1,561 wordsThe way Descartes chose to write this piece literature captivated me. Descartes was a very intelligent man who wanted to make sense of the world he lived in. The format he used was unusual. It seems to me that he may have used this format, which is a replication of the book of Genesis in the Bible, to have a deeper and more profound impact on the reader. There are many similarities between Descartes Meditations and the first book of the Bible, Genesis. For example, Descartes Meditations was writ...

Infinite Regress God Exists
1,002 wordsAquinas second proof that God exists, the proof from efficient cause, is summarized in the following: there exists things that are caused, nothing can be the cause of itself, there cannot be an infinite regress of causes, there fore, God exists. The proof of Aquinas s is a cosmological kind, basing the fact the if anything exist; an absolute necessary being must also exist. I agree with Aquinas that God is the uncaused first cause, but from a situation that was discussed in class a few weeks ago...

Make You Feel Existence Of God
3,641 wordsEither God exists or He doesnt. There is no middle ground, and any attempt to remain neutral in relation to Gods existence is automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a moot question, because if God does exist, then nothing else really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing really matters at all. This is kind of unfortunate for someone like myself, because Ive always lived on that nonexistent middle ground. Until now Ive never been put in a position where it was questioned. Th...

God Does Exist Evil Exists
1,286 wordsGod, supernatural being or a myth? That is the question that this paper will try to answer. This paper will try to prove that the supernatural being known as god truly does exist. In doing so, I will use an argument, by Elliot Sober, which tries to prove that Gods existence is merely a myth and refute that argument. In the end proving that God truly exists. (1) If God were to exist, then that being would be all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good (all-PKG for short). (2) If an all-PKG being exis...

Power Of God God Exists
859 wordsMiracles The first issue is to try and define what a miracle is. A miracle is hard to define, especially today. Miracles are a rarity in todays world. The technical definition of a miracle, is a kind of supernatural or extremely unusual event. In a biblical sense, a miracle is a special act of God in the world; a supernatural interference into nature; a special divine interaction. As Christians, the biblical definition is what we put our faith in. Now we need to know the history of miracles and ...
