I can safely say your arguments are flawed and you resort to name-calling and insults instead of providing evidence for claims‚ Yes you can safely say there is a little green man called Jeff who rules your life too‚ that’s because you are a new atheist isn’t it. Now what you must understand is when debating with me I do not take atheistic statements as statements of fact‚ but as statements of an ideology. I have given the evidence it’s just an attempt was made to refute it with talk of aliens

Pope John Paul II’s Fides et Ratio: A Response to Atheism Ypril James F. Cabasag Introduction: When was the time and where was the place when the first races of humans started to believe in God? This question perhaps would trace us back to the point when these people built solid foundation about His existence and how He related to the world. These individuals might conceptualize a God because of their search for the answer about the questions pertaining about the beginning of everything

In academic writing‚ an argument is usually a main idea‚ often called a “claim” or “thesis statement‚” backed up with evidence that supports the idea. In most college papers‚ one needs to make some sort of claim and use evidence to support it. One’s ability to do this will separate a good paper from other papers. We use argument in everyday life to convince somebody of my ideas or opinion‚ convince our teachers we deserve a better grade. A better argument is accomplished if no emotion is involved

Aquinas’ Five Proofs What real evidence can be supplied for God’s existence? St. Thomas‚ in his Summa Theologica‚ sets forth five separate proofs for the existence of God‚ Unlike St. Anselm’s proof‚ which deals with pure concepts‚ St. Thomas’ proofs rely on the world of our experience-what we can see around us. In these proofs we can easily see the influence of Aristotle and his doctrine of the Four Causes. l) The Proof from Motion. We observe motion all around us. Whatever is in motion now

limits‚ He has no affinity to us’’ (Pascal‚ 2). Throughout Pascal’s argument he makes the constant notion believing in order to gain finite happiness‚ how is it possible to know if God is willing to provide this infinite gain if he is infinitely incomprehensible? This critical mistake is the very reason Pascal’s argument doesn’t work‚ we just don’t have the knowledge to know about what truly happens after death. Pascal makes his argument for God by noting “you must wager. It is not optional” (Pascal‚

dictionary‚ the word "argument" means "A statement or series of statements for or against something‚" or "A discussion in which people express different opinions about something‚" or "An angry disagreement." I completely agree with these definitions‚ except there is more to the word that may be very hard to explain. the word argument is an abstract word‚ meaning it is an intangible thing. No one can hear‚ see‚ touch‚ smell and‚ or taste an argument‚ However‚ when people hear the word argument or experience

Anselm’s argument did lead to objections as most do. The first was that of a Monk Named Gaunilo‚ who argued against Anselm’s ontological Argument with the use of the concept of a perfect island. Gaunilo argued that concept of a perfect island does not prove that the existence of an island. In this case that perfection does not imply ‘existence’. Gaunilo claims that if the word God was replaced with the words perfect island‚ then Anselm’s ontological argument would not conclude that the perfect island

The age old debate for theism is obviously whether or not God exist. But more so‚ theists seem to have trouble when proving their argument for the existence of a necessary intelligent being. Not only do atheists have the governing laws of science‚ but it seems they have logic on their side. For theists can present countless arguments without presenting any intelligible proof. We are rational‚ sentient human beings and we need logic in order to accept a premise. It is contradictory to human nature

writing. First‚ I will explicate Pascal’s argument that believing in God is a bet. Then‚ I will argue that Pascal was right when he stated that one must choose whether to believe in God by proving that believing in God is a forced and unavoidable belief. In arguing for Pascal’s wager‚ which I will break down into two groups of assumptions‚ I will show that believing in God is the best bet independent of the existence of God or an afterlife. In his argument‚ Pascal first compares God’s existence to

Pascal’s Wager vs. the Ontological Argument Pascal’s Wager was a groundbreaking theory posed by the French philosopher‚ mathematician‚ and physicist Blaise Pascal. Pascal‚ who is said to be the father of modern probability‚ felt that that religion should be approached as a gamble. It was one of the first efforts to incorporate the concept of infinity. The wager stated that‚ even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason‚ one should wager as though God exists‚ because living
