    As I walked through the Blacks in Wax Museum I was both upset and happy by what I saw. Going into the slave ship and seeing the slaves being branded like livestock and shackled one on top of the other really brought to life the struggle that the slaves had to endure. I don’t understand how the white people can think of the slaves as less than human‚ and at the same time want to rape the women. The Lynching Exhibit opened my eyes to how cruel people can really be. What hit home was the story of pregnant

    Explain Hume’s criticisms of the teleological argument (25 marks) Hume criticised the teleological argument in plenty of ways as he believed that the argument was deeply flawed. His first point criticised Paley’s analogy of the watch. The first part of the analogy claimed that if you found a rock while walking through a heath‚ you would not think anything of it. However‚ if you had seen a watch you would examine it and find that it had moving parts that demonstrate that the watch has a purpose

    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

    2010 Descartes and Hume: Piece of Wax In Descartes’ “Meditation II‚” he begins his look into sensory perceptions with a very in-depth look into a plain piece of wax. He explains that there is a very distinct piece of wax‚ perhaps from a fresh honeycomb. All the physical attributes of this wax can be observed; feel‚ temperature‚ color‚ taste‚ smell‚ odor; these are the things we can tell through our senses. He then melts away the wax‚ and the things our senses had perceived are no longer there

    existence of a greater being‚ God has been a debate for longer than almost any other scientific in history. We are told that McCloskey refers to arguments as proofs and often implies that they cannot definitively establish the case for God‚ so therefore they should be abandoned. He says that because these arguments/debates‚ have no proof he dismisses the term argument and refers to them as “proofs”. McCloskey states that theists do not believe in God because said proofs but rather than as a result of some

    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. The denial of the first premise‚ although strictly logically possible‚ is metaphysically unactualizable. By definition‚ nothing has no potentialities. Thus‚ it is impossible for something to arise out of nothing‚ for how can its existence be actualized if the potential is not there? The truth of the

    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

    Brienna Jenkins David Willson English 201‚ M/W 28 August‚ 2013 The Candle Wax Incident I would never be so presumptuous as to assert that nobody but me has problems. I understand‚ in fact‚ that not only does everyone have problems‚ but that most people have bigger problems and more problems than I myself would care to imagine. I do believe‚ however‚ I can safely say that nobody else has my problems. The singularity with which I create extra work for myself is its own idiosyncrasy.
