is a God has been debated by many philosophers‚ religious experts‚ and even your average citizens. Many of those people have attempted to argue why God is or is not real. This paper is going to present two different arguments by the philosophers: Robin Collins and William Rowe. The first argument by Collins is an argument for the existence of God‚ who designed our incredibly complex universe. The explanation of Collin’s argument will be followed by Rowe’s argument against the existence of God‚ which

point in the past there exists a great mystery in the human minds viz. God. Human mind had always been baffled with the concept of God. Many curious seekers have tried to put their reasoning in black and white either to prove or disprove the existence of God. Still these intellectual arguments often prove inadequate; either to prove or disprove. Through this seminar I intend to compare two different stands on the existence of God; that of Thomas Aquinas‚ the medieval philosopher‚ and Richard Dawkins

Kevin Noble 12/03/12 Models of God Critical Analysis For my final essay assignment I have chosen to analyze Sallie McFague and her book‚ Models of God. She discusses many points in her book‚ starting with the world at large. McFague‚ being a Feminist post modern theologian‚ questions the way our faith is viewed today as well as tries to come up with her own explanation of what we view as religion and religious ideas today. She questions the decisions of society as a whole‚ much as Reinhold

The Existence of God One of the most prominent topics that Aquinas chose to focus on was the idea of the existence of God. In his opinion‚ the existence of God was not self-evident‚ rather it had to be proven and discovered. Aquinas states that God “is that which no greater can be thought;” yet not all shared the same conclusive idea; therefore‚ God needed to be both defined and proved‚ in Aquinas’ opinion. We as humans‚ cannot start with the idea of God or with the definition‚ and by that supposition

viewpoint of God has no demeanor on how he functions. When the greatest person can restore all wounds and sufferings‚ and provide endless happiness for all eternity‚ how much does bereavement really matter? God "CAN" be all-powerful‚ all-knowing‚ and all-good. God is all-powerful‚ all-knowing‚ and all-good. That does not mean He has to meet our expectations; nor does it mean He has to meet the expectations of others. Our understanding of sins was bought through the death of Jesus Christ. As God and the

The Death of God model argues that evil cannot be an instrument of God and therefore‚ God has to be dead. Strengths of the Death of God model include the view that evil is not an instrument of God and the rejection of the traditional God that intervenes on Earth. The view that evil is not an instrument of God allows people to place hope in their God. If one saw their God as creating evil‚ they would

arguments presented by Hume against the existence of God. In Hume’s arguments he tries to convince his audience the God does not exist because evil does. The first argument presented by Hume is the logical problem of evil. In this argument Hume is saying that the belief in a God that is capable of allowing evil‚ even though he is supposed to have benevolent intentions toward us is contradictory. He explains that evil does exist even though the existence of God should mean that it does not exist. He is using

God Not’s Dead Analysis This movie is about a college freshman and passionate Christian‚ Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper)‚ sees his faith questioned on his first day of Philosophy class by an argumentative Professor Radisson (Kevin Sorbo). Radisson starts off his class by telling college students that they need to disown in writing the existence of God on that very first day of class or face a huge failing grade. While some other students in the class begin to write the words “God Is Dead” on pieces

thought of a spiritual entity as false? For thousands of years‚ we have been given a picture of God as the creator of everything we know of. He symbolizes a figure of faith. His spiritual being gives hope and encouragement to people as a way for them to rely on him during their toughest times. For instance‚ I find myself within those group of people; however‚ I have become aware that my belief in God is not as strong as I thought it was.
