    The cosmological argument is attempting to show through reason that a cosmos needs an explanation. The cosmological argument is an a posteriori argument because it is based upon empirical data which we only discovered through being on this planet. The claim is that the universe cannot account for its own existence and so this argument seeks causes that have their solutions in the existence of a God. It suggests that God is in esse and humans are in fieri. The first part of this principle is the

    ‘The cosmological argument shows that it is reasonable to believe in God’ How far do you agree? - 15 Mark Aquinas’ cosmological argument is a theory that is highly credible due it to being very logical and having support from science and common human observation. His theory isn’t based on the spiritual and religious God it is based on the God of classical theism which is why more people may argue that his theory makes it reasonable to believe in God. Aquinas’ argument gives a very detailed account

    The argument from design is an analogy and works by comparing the universe to an object. An example of the comparison would be to say the world resembles a car. All cars have creators‚ therefore‚ the world has to have a creator‚ and that must be God. The argument concludes by saying by observing the world we can gather evidence that the intelligence of a human that creates a car‚ bike or some other item resembles‚ in a less perfect form‚ God. However‚ Hume thinks this argument fails. Hume does not

    components of Thomas Aquinas’ cosmological argument for the existence of God are the argument from first motion‚ the argument from first cause‚ the argument from degrees‚ and the argument from the contingent. The argument from first motion is practically the thought that because things move in the universe and something else caused those things to move‚ then there must be an initial mover—that initial mover is God (Vaughn 64-65). Aquinas’ second argument is that from first-cause‚ this is basically

    Canterbury1‚ the ontological argument was born in the early 1100’s. The ontological point of view‚ according to St. Anselm‚ describes God as “a being than which no greater can be conceived”.2 St. Anselm concluded that if such being failed to exist‚ another even greater being could be conceived that does exist. This argument would be illogical‚ as no being can be greater than the greatest being. Therefore God must exist. As you can see‚ St. Anselm’s ontological argument attempts to prove the existence

    makes up life. One of the most critical arguments that claim that there must be a God is the Kalem Cosmological argument‚ which uses the universe’s mere existence or the beginning of the universe’s existence to claim that whatever has a beginning‚ must have a cause‚ insinuating that the cause of the universe’s beginning is in theory‚ God. Though with creative intellect in further questioning it’s impossible for one not to question that the Cosmological argument may be correct in theory‚ but does the

The argument is a posteriori because its based on evidence that already exists in the universe. The cosmological argument is also inductive because the conclusion is what

    St Thomas Aquinas version of The Cosmological Argument Aquinas developed the five ways to prove the existence of God. He based his arguments on what could be observed‚ his observations included that the universe moves and changes. From his observations he reached conclusions about the existence of God. However‚ Aquinas did actually accept the fact that he may not prove that the cause of the universe is the God of classical theism. He also did not accept infinity because he believed that there had
