    Free college is a utopic vision created from the 2016 election that promotes and idealizes socialism. This seemingly unattainable goal for Americans has been created on a foundation of poor information. However‚ the reality is that affordable college is coming around the corner. The piles of student loan debt accumulated are forcing Americans to make some type of change in higher education. While some oppose the idea of free college it is an inevitable outcome that will help most Americans and further

    The Logical Problem of Evil vs. The Evidential Problem of Evil First of we have to clarify what both of these arguments are and what there are saying. The logical problem of evil explains that the existence of evil is not consistent with the existence of a God.  The evidential problem is just the opposite. For example‚ in Rowe’s essay‚ he used the example of a suffering fawn. The evidential problem states that if there is an omniscient being‚ how could he allow this kind of suffering and evil

    Within our society‚ it is usually assumed that we have free will. If you were to ask a random person on the street‚ they would most likely respond to the question‚ "Do you have free will or is there Fate" with the affirmation that they make their own decisions‚ because God gives us free will. Yet in the assumption of the fact that God gave us free will‚ there is a logical disconnect that most people ignore. How can God exist in a world where we can change the outcome of a situation in a way that

    St. Augustine Free Will

    The idea of free will‚ the ability to make choices‚ is fundamental to Judaism. The traditional Jewish conception of human nature includes a belief that human beings are/were created in the image of God. Judaism views that all human beings neutral‚ unlike some other philosophers like St. Augustine who think humankind started from sin. The concept of “original sin” is not applicable in this case. It has a belief that every person can choose between good and evil. The moral conscience that reminds a

    The most outstanding problem in a utopia is the illusion of free will. Under most modern philosophies‚ we assume that all humans have the ability to determine their futures through their decisions. In a “utopian” society‚ every person’s decisions must be predetermined to retain order. Every human’s actions must be predictable in order to plan and prepare for all possible problems. If you assume that humans can make decisions that were created entirely in their own minds‚ then at some point‚ a person’s

    Although the “free will” problem envelops a spectrum of ideas‚ I agree with the following belief: “The folk are compatibilists about free will.” While there are‚ of course‚ incompatibilists and indeterminists‚ for the most part‚ the general population consists of compatibilists. Now‚ I know experimental philosophy has a problem with the use of generalizations without actual statistics‚ but throughout this paper‚ I will explain exactly why the world revolves in a generally compatibilist manner.

    "Houston‚ we have a problem". This is one of the free ringtones‚ (with original scratchy radio noises)‚ I use for incoming calls in one of my mobiles. One of the coolest free ringtones around. So I think. I have two mobiles numbers‚ one for friends‚ family and fun and other for the serious callers‚ such as my bank manager‚ my grandmother‚ (she is a no nonsense clever woman who expects a grandson like me to be a grown up man by now)‚ the tax collector or the democratic party.
