From the arguments discussed in class‚ I choose to evaluate Thomas Aquinas’ Cosmological Argument. Aquinas offers a believable case for the existence of God through five arguments. The arguments are “a posteriori arguments” with five strategies (Aquinas 52). The first argues that there is an unmoved mover that originated all motion but the mover‚ itself‚ does not move. The second argument concludes: “there must be a first cause to explain the existence of cause” (Aquinas 52). The third argument says

The Motionless Arrow: Aristotle’s Thoughts on Zeno’s Arror Argument Aristotle’s thoughts on Zeno’s Arrow Argument as represented in Chapter 9 of Aristotle’s Physics: A Guided Study can be understood in such a way that it might not be "next door to madness".

Visual Acuity Measured as a Function of Retinal Eccentricity Visual acuity is a measure of an observer’s ability to see fine spatial detail (Cavonius & Schumacher‚ 1966). There are a number of factors that affect visual acuity‚ such as illumination and contrast‚ and various ways to measure it (Kalloniatis & Luu‚ 2005). One way to measure visual acuity is through target detection which requires the perception of the orientation of a stimulus such as a Landolt C or a Snellen E (Kalloniatis

Aquinas’s Argument During the medieval time period Christianity was practiced by over one-third of the European population. At that time‚ all European philosophers had three different types of arguments to prove the existence of God: the Ontological argument‚ which stated that God‚ by nature‚ must exist; the Teleological argument‚ which stated that the world we live in was made by intelligent design. Therefore‚ a designer must exist to be able to make such a perfect world. Lastly‚ there is the
