In response to Aristotle’s argument‚ the first that will be addressed will be his concept that virtue is the relative intermediary between the two extreme conditions of deficiency and excess‚ which is well thought out‚ logical‚ and practical. One example would be relatable to my prospective future occupation of teaching. When creating curriculum and instruction‚ the teacher must consider differentiation for all students. In short‚ this means taking into account all of the diverse learning styles

(1.a.) Clarke’s first argument is God’s existence as a sufficient infinite reality in Person and Being. The first step of Clarke’s argument is “given any conditioned being‚ there must exist at least one absolutely unconditioned‚ or self-sufficient being (Clarke 215).” Every living thing is conditioned‚ in that it requires a cause. We are all radically conditioned to exist and we depend on other things to keep us that way. Humans for example exist do to their parents and they keeping existing because

To understand the Fight or Flight response it helps to think about the role of emotions in our lives. Many of us would prefer to focus on our logical‚ thinking nature and ignore our sometimes troublesome emotions‚ but emotions have a purpose. Our most basic emotions like fear‚ anger or disgust are vital messengers: they evolved as signals to help us meet our basic needs for self-preservation and safety.

My response to McCloskey’s "On Being an Atheist." The paper written by McCloskey is nothing more than an Atheists attempt to justify his atheistic ideas and at no time should ever be taken by any other person as anything more than one man’s opinions which are based completely upon speculative ideas. Throughout this paper‚ I read statements like‚ “theists feel…”‚” Most theists believe…”‚ “They do not think…”‚ and “Most theists conclude…”; however‚ the person giving these tidbits is

different arguments to validate his belief that God did indeed exist. Those arguments are still used today in the debate of God’s existence. The first argument Aquinas created is the “Argument from motion.” This argument was based on the fact that objects in motion had to be set in motion by a different source. An object could not set itself in motion. Therefore‚ the world could not have simply appeared out of nowhere. Someone (God) had to have created it. The strength of this argument is that the

Privacy is the state of being free from intrusion in one’s personal life‚ or so it used to be.

From telephone systems and mail to car computers and surveillance cameras. Simson discusses positive points that make perfect sense in his article‚ but he also assumes false points‚ does not back them up with strong evidence‚ and makes logical fallacies

are 3 main arguments that each seek to prove the existence of God; the Ontological‚ Cosmological‚ and Teleological Arguments. Each is different in its approach‚ but all arrive at the same conclusion. Ontological Argument argues God’s existence from the assumption of the existence a “Greatest Thing that can ever be conceived.” From there‚ it argues that in order for something to be “The Greatest Thing ever” it must exist physically (that is outside of the mind). The Cosmological Argument argues that

Examine the key features of the Teleological argument. The word teleological comes from the Greek word ‘Telos’ which means purpose. The teleological argument is a posteriori and like the cosmological argument‚ attempts to prove the existence of God. It claims that certain phenomena within the universe appear to display features of design and are perfectly adapted to fulfil their function. Therefore‚ if features of the universe are so perfectly designed‚ for example the structure and function of

wrote the five cosmological arguments that support the existence of God. A cosmological argument is an argument that supports the existence of God and that everything that exists was caused by something else. One of Aquinas’ ways to prove God’s existence is through the argument of possibility and necessity. He argues that there must be a first necessary being to set the chain of causes in motion which results in the universe today. Summary of the Argument The argument is based off of the fact that
