mind had always been baffled with the concept of God. Many curious seekers have tried to put their reasoning in black and white either to prove or disprove the existence of God. Still these intellectual arguments often prove inadequate; either to prove or disprove. Through this seminar I intend to compare two different stands on the existence of God; that of Thomas Aquinas‚ the medieval philosopher‚ and Richard Dawkins‚ the neo - Darwinist. Here we aim not to get involved in the vast world of metaphysics

Existence of Yetis The existence of yetis‚ also known as sasquatches‚ is really unknown. Stories of yeti confrontations vary beyond reason. Most of these stories are found in Native American legends (Stonehill 1). Theories are so outrageous that doubt flourishes.
