to set the universe into motion. Einstein refers to this force as “the cosmological constant”. This constant corrected Einstein’s theory of relativity to explain the movement of the universe. Originally Einstein believed that the universe was static even though his mathematical theories suggested otherwise. It was not until another mathematician Friedmann‚ solved Einsteins’s equation of general relativity using the cosmological constant. Einstein referred to this mistake as being the “biggest blunder”

Teleological ethics is the belief that a moral decision is right if the outcome is good. In other words the ends justify the means’. A teleological theory maintains that the rightness or wrongness of an action is decided by the consequences that it produces. So even if someone does something bad‚ in order for the outcome to

picture of the basic theories behind moral absolutism and relativism. Normative ethical theories are mainly divided into two groups‚ teleological and deontological. A teleological theory maintains that moral judgments are based entirely on the effects produced by an action‚ what is right and wrong‚ good and bad depends on the end outcome of an action. The teleological theory relates directly to relativist morality as both make moral judgments depending on the situation and outcome. However‚ these

who finally gave a name to this argument to which today we know it as the Ontological Argument. With works such as ‘Fides Quaerense Intellectum’ and ‘Proslogian’ Anslem tried to prove and show that certain Christian beliefs are actually true. He got his inspiration from Psalm 14 which shows how the Fool ‘hath said in his heart ‘There is no God.’ This simple statement is what triggered Anslem in developing the Ontological Argument; he starts off by portraying
