Three Days God Exists
639 words
Nelson 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...

total financial crisis, facing a short fall of 1.
5 billion marks in anticipated revenues. It

Existence Of God Infinite Regress
1,205 words
During this class we have looked at a wide range
of theories about God from the creation of the
universe to the theory of being reborn and life
after death. What this all comes down to is
whether God exists or He doesn't. There is no
middle ground. Any attempt to remain neutral in
relation to God's existence is automatically
synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a "moot"
question, for if God does exist, then nothing else
really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing
really matters at all...

Recent Study Shows That the Bible Is Wrong The
Christian Bible says the words of God and states
that God is omnipotent and cannot lie. If you
think about that statement you realize that if God
is omnipotent then he should have the power to
lie. The error could not be corrected by any
additions made to the bible throughout the last
two centuries. In order to fix that error and
other scientific errors, too many changes would
have to be made to the Bible. The Bible says that

An Examination of the Causes, Morality, and Demise
of American Civil Defense While there are
conflicting and overlapping reasons as to why
civil defense became an important issue in America
in the 1950 s and 1960 s, the fact remains that
Americans became obsessed with civil protection
and the threat of thermonuclear war. This took the
form of general preparation for an attack, such as
the construction of bomb shelters, stockpiling of
food supplies, perfecting emergency drills in
schools and home...

morality has also existed for that same amount of

question about that, but does that give us the
right to kill these killers? I do not think so.
Racism is often the driving force behind crime.
Yet in a justice system that preaches equality, it
too is led by racism. There is "a pattern of

King Arthur Great King

Did King Arthur Truly Exist? Who was King Arthur?
Most people would tell of a great King; a devoted
circle of heroic knights; mighty castles and
mightier deeds; a time of chivalry and courtly
love; of Lancelot and Guinevere; of triumph and
death. Historians and archaeologists, especially
Leslie Alcock, point to shadowy evidence of a man
who is not a king, but a commander of an army, who
lived during the late fifth to early sixth century
who may perhaps be the basis for Arthur. By
looking at the ...
