explained I will put forward my argument against these with the support of arguments from the likes of Hume‚ Darwin and Dawkins. When considering the arguments in support of the theory for design a line can be drawn between those before and those after Darwin’s theory of evolution (Chappell‚ 2011‚ p. 73). This discovery heavily impacted on those arguments from the likes of Parley and in the dialogues of Hume for example. In Parleys analogy of the watch maker he argues that an incomplete watch has no function

Humes has an entirely different viewpoint on Locke’s idea of a persisting self; his own theory which is that the “self’ is nothing but a bundle of impressions. In response to Locke’s theory of an enduring body‚ Hume would point out two outstanding errors with Locke’s theory which are that the self is in fact not constant and enduring‚ and Locke’s lack of evidence. Locke’s view on identity lacks sufficient evidence to back it up. With Locke truly believing that there is a persistent self that means

As stated by Leucippus‚ “an absolute necessity leaves no room in the cosmos for chance.” “Nothing occurs at random‚ but everything for a reason and by necessity.” Many compatibilists accept that determinism is real. They also argue about the fact that a man is free as long as his own choices are in the chain of what is supposed to occur. Fatalism is a form of determinism that explains how every event in the future is fated

Suffering and evil do exist. This idea completely goes against an all-powerful‚ omnipotent‚ benevolent God‚ which most religions claim that their God is. David Hume deployed this devastating argument. Since evil exists‚ God cannot be both omnipotent (ultimate power) and benevolent (good).

Hume believes the identity of an object or person directly relies to the collection of parts within that object or person. We can derive this from one this quote‚ “In order to this‚ suppose any mass of matter‚ of which the parts are contiguous and connected‚ to be plac’d before us; ’tis plain we must attribute a perfect identity to this mass‚ provided all the parts continue uninterruptedly and invariably the same…” (Hume‚ p8).

Our ethical decisions are a result of social conditioning. Discuss. (35marks) Clarence Darrow could be said to be the most famous person who supported the idea of social conditioning. He argued that human beings cannot be held responsible for their actions because nurture has brought them up a certain way. In his case where he legally represented Leob and Leopold‚ he argued that morality can’t exist if humans are responsible for their actions‚ because no-one can be held morally responsible for anything;
