    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

    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.

    He is infinitely good (pg. 125). The first argument offered concludes there must be a first mover‚ “and this everyone understands to be God” (pg. 126). His first argument does not prove the unmoved mover is good or bad. Aquinas‚ like most‚ understand God to be the original mover and infinitely good. Can we take Aquinas’ first argument as any proof of God’s existence? I believe not. Aquinas must argue such a creator is all good. Aquinas’ fourth argument puts all beings on the good/bad scale. There

    answer is quite simple‚ we can explore the several arguments for and against His existence. The first argument we will indulge in is the cosmological argument.

    If students were robots they might at least not need ‘rest’. They would continue to work on a novel for days together‚ learn lessons of mathematics without intervening subconscious processing of thoughts. The efficiency and effectiveness would have been uninterrupted. But students need rest‚ enjoyment‚ and change of routine. Therefore we cannot easily ignore importance of holiday‚ which has all the three ingredients. It alleviates anxiety of workload ‚ takes away from hectic environment of office

    Katie Wyatt 20th October Examine the key strengths of the Design Argument for the existence of God The Design Argument can be split into two sides: design qua purpose and design qua regularity.

He then noted the complexity‚ order and purpose of the universe‚ stating that "every
