TITLE: ’’BELIEVE IN GOD IS NOT A FALLACY" Does an intelligent‚ powerful‚ and willful being exist who is the independent eternal uncaused cause of all the rest of existence? It is my thoughtful and rational conviction that such a being‚ commonly called God‚ does exist in reality and that all the rest of reality is dependent on this being for existence. I therefore would say I believe in God. Now having the conviction that God exists is clearly a controversial position. Even as having the

Nice Student PHL 267 09/19/12 The reason for God- Timothy Keller “How could God Allow suffering” If God is good‚ why is there so much suffering and evil doing in the world today? Look at 9/11‚ why couldn’t God stop the terrorist’s from doing these awful things to our beautiful nation? At one point in our lives we all have experienced some sort of suffering‚ weather it may be the passing of a family member‚ getting robbed‚ not living in livable conditions‚ or just plain dislikes

I found Descartes’ way of thinking very interesting when compared to Aristotle. Descartes doubts the existence of God when he decides to start over and completely ignore his senses. He states in his third meditation‚ “…and I do not yet even know for sure whether there is a God at all…I must examine whether there is a God‚ and if there is‚ whether he can be a deceiver.” (25) Descartes makes a goal for himself to find out if there is a God and who he is. According to Aquinas we will never be able to

Sophie’s World Notes Introduction Questions posed: Who are you? Is there life after death? Where does the world&universe come from? Why are we here? How ought we to live? Is the human brain like an advanced computer? Ideas: “It’s tragic that people have to get ill to appreciate life”‚ the possibility of something coming from nothing‚ we study philosophy because reading what others think can help us formulate our own ideas. We are aware that we are part of something mysterious. Philosophy

The idea of “sufficiency” is speculative and dependent upon the context in which it is presented. The Paradise of Adam and Eve was sufficient because it served its purpose fully. It had more than enough amenities to sustain the two of them and had more than they could ever use within their lifetime. And Adam and Eve in their time in Paradise were immortal‚ to say that Paradise for them was sufficient is beyond comprehension compared to the current world of scarce resources. For example‚ when Eve

De Jong makes a similar argument regarding this. She claims that in 822‚ Louis “acted from a position of strength‚ and this was exactly the quality that his behavior must have conveyed to those present-certainly to the clerics. Instead of forcing him into obedience‚ the bishops followed his ‘most salubrious example.’” While these are all equally important arguments‚ it is hard to actually grasp the mind of Louis at this point in time. Yes‚ from the sources it appears that he really strove to be

Although we are each a single individual‚ our minds and our bodies seem to exist in two separate worlds which operate on separate rules. The dilemma is unifying the two‚ made possible by transcending the duality entirely. This allows the emergence of de-limited spirit which then provides the world with a third path‚ the Path of

Fallen is a thought-provoking -person narrative film that begins and ends with the voice of the film’s narrator and protagonist‚ Azazel. The movie‚ which is based on his personal story‚ opens with an intriguing self-introduction that snares the audience’s attention from the outset: “I want to tell you about the time I almost died.” As the movie proceeds‚ Azazel reveals that he is responsible for killings‚ as well as the false indictment and subsequent suicide of a detective named John Hobbes.
