Percent Composition of a Penny Background Information: Post-1983 pennies have a copper jacket and a zinc core. We hope to determine the percent composition of these two metals. This will be done by reacting the zinc with hydrochloric acid to form zinc ions in a single replacement reaction. The acid reacts with the zinc but not copper. The reaction of zinc metal with the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Safety: Wear your safety goggles and apron If you spill Hydrochloric

1b) Examine the key concepts of the ontological argument for the existence of God (18) The ontological argument rests on the premise that the universe’s existence is contingent- it depends on something else to exist. The argument is deductive‚ analytic and a priori‚ and was first formed by St. Anselm‚ who prayed for a short argument that would prove God to be “that than which nothing greater can be conceived”. This prayer was called the proslogion and tried to prove God by means of reductio ad

directed to their end: and this being we call God" Aquinas‚ Summa Theologica. The teleological argument is the design argument for the existence of God. This argument is an a posteriori argument. It is based on observations of the apparent order in the universe and the natural world‚ to conclude that it is not the result of mere chance but of design. The evidence from design points to a designer and the argument concludes that the designer is God. "With such signs of forethought in the design of living

Reasoning Gods existence This paper will talk about reasoning Gods existence‚ St. Thomas Aquinas’ three arguments for Gods existence using reason alone‚ and human reason limitations with regard to knowing God.

‘The First Cause Argument Proves that God Exists.’ Do You Agree? The First cause‚ or cosmological‚ argument suggested by Thomas Aquinas is that everything that comes into being must have a cause. They can’t cause themselves‚ so they must be caused by something outside themselves. This chain can’t regress forever‚ so there must be a transcendent power that began the chain. That is god. Another argument‚ the Kalam Cosmological argument‚ states that everything that comes into being must

Explain Hume’s criticisms of the teleological argument (25 marks) Hume criticised the teleological argument in plenty of ways as he believed that the argument was deeply flawed. His first point criticised Paley’s analogy of the watch. The first part of the analogy claimed that if you found a rock while walking through a heath‚ you would not think anything of it. However‚ if you had seen a watch you would examine it and find that it had moving parts that demonstrate that the watch has a purpose

The teleological argument as put forward by St. Thomas Aquinas attempts to prove the existence of God by use of empirical evidence. Aquinas attempts this through three ways. The first way Aquinas attempts to prove the existence of God is through cause and effect. Every action or outcome must have a previous action that allowed that action or outcome to come about. This previous action must have been set in motion by another action. St. Thomas reasons that this infers an infinite chain of cause

existence of a greater being‚ God has been a debate for longer than almost any other scientific in history. We are told that McCloskey refers to arguments as proofs and often implies that they cannot definitively establish the case for God‚ so therefore they should be abandoned. He says that because these arguments/debates‚ have no proof he dismisses the term argument and refers to them as “proofs”. McCloskey states that theists do not believe in God because said proofs but rather than as a result of some

How convincing is the Kalam argument as proof of the existence of Allah The first premise is relatively uncontroversial‚ and is rooted in the metaphysical principle that out of nothing‚ nothing comes. The denial of the first premise‚ although strictly logically possible‚ is metaphysically unactualizable. By definition‚ nothing has no potentialities. Thus‚ it is impossible for something to arise out of nothing‚ for how can its existence be actualized if the potential is not there? The truth of the
