The thoughts of God that are presented by Leibniz and Spinoza are finished total inverses in idea. Spinozas god does not take after routine terminology for god as it has none of the attributes of the customary‚ individual god. Leibniz idea of god is a more relatable idea of a divine being that has a limit for thought‚ and has a request and motivation to the moves that it makes. Leibniz’s God is a humanized being that has the limit for thought and activity keeping in mind the end goal to settle on

They have a perfectly configured criteria of how a person should be and everyone tries to meet those criteria- At workplaces we are told of a skill set‚ ideology

Design Argument--Does God exist? I found William Paley’s design argument in The Watch and the Watch-Maker the most compelling and thought provoking because I thought he had an interesting point symbolizing the watch as the universe and the watch-maker as the universe-maker or God. Paley doesn’t give a scientific explanation‚ but instead bases his work on observation and logical thinking unlike Robin Collins’s argument in his work‚ A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God‚ which is supported

I’ll first address and examine Anselm’s ontological argument for the existence of God while restating and critically examining Aquinas’s first argument for the existence of God.

During this topic I will bring in Dawkins’ and Hume’s criticisms of

Film Review: City of God By the middle of the twentieth century‚ “favelas” or slums had grown to astronomical sizes‚ containing mass amounts of impoverished people. These favelas were overrun by hunger‚ filth‚ drugs‚ and disorder‚ making them extremely unsuitable places to live. While the police and government do not get involved with the issues of the slums‚ security is provided by the community and‚ more often than not‚ drug gangs keeping control over crime. Life in a slum of Brazil is certainly
