  • Existence Of God
    1,208 words
    The existence of God has been a question since the idea of God was conceived. Descartes tries to prove God's existence, and to show that there is without a doubt something external to one's own existence. He is looking for a definite certainty, a foundation upon which he can base all of his beliefs and know that they are true. Descartes' overall project is to find a definite certainty on which he can base all of his knowledge and beliefs. Descartes attacks the principles that support everything ...

  • Evidence For The Existence Of God
    6,323 words
    Proof Of The Existence of God Either God exists or He doesn't. There is no middle ground. Any attempt to remain neutral in relation to God's existence is automatically synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a "moot" question, for if God does exist, then nothing else really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing really matters at all. If He does exist, then there is an eternal heaven to be gained (Hebrews 11: 16) and an eternal Hell to be avoided (Revelation 21: 8). The question for God's ...
  • Christian Big Bang Theory

    While in High School I encountered all different kinds of people. Some were nice, others were not, and there was always that small group of guys that always voiced their opinion and let others know what was on their minds. No matter what others thought or felt of their opinion. My friend Ray was one of those people. Ray was a very easygoing guy; he never started any trouble, never disrespected anyone, and never quit. He always excelled in everything he did, he never let himself quit any activity...
  • Buddhists Sin

  • God The Explanation Of The Baseball Scenario
    1,646 words
    Essay 2 First we will consider the assigned baseball scenario under Leibniz's system of metaphysics. In the baseball scenario, the aggregate of the player, bat, pitch, swing and all the other substances in the universe are one and all contingent.

The totality of contingent things, the bat, the player, etc., themselves do not explain themselves. Here Leibniz involves the p...
  • Question Of Faith And Reason
    1,202 words
    Critical Paper 3 Fides et Ratio, One or Both? The Middle Ages saw a period in time that was deeply rooted in Christianity. Almost every aspect of life was monitored and ruled by the Church.

There were differing opinions of this matter in both scholarly and religious circles. Faith is what all believers must ha...
  • Existence Of Evil In God's Creation

    Augustine'I loved the happy life but I feared to find it in Your house and so I ran from it even as I sought after it. I thought that I would be miserable if I were kept from a woman's arms. I did not believe that a cure for this disease lay in Your mercy; I had no experience of such a cure. I believed that continence was within a man's own powers, though I was unaware of such a power within me. I was a fool and did not know - as it is written [in Scripture] - that no man can be continent unless...

  • Possible Interpretations Of Wilcox's Figurative Conversation

  • Exists In Thought
    5,689 words
    Back to Medieval Source Book ANSELM ON GOD'S EXISTENCE God's existence was to some extent obvious for medieval theologians. They simply knew he existed. Nevertheless, they attempted to prove his existence anyway, and the basic strategies employed by them are the ones used every since. Here two approaches are presented. The first, by Anselm, is perhaps the most puzzling. While it has not been all that popular with the average believer, it has fascinated philosophers, and even today there are resp...

  • Arguments For Existence
    3,128 words
    Throughout history there has been a concept of a greater being (s) that guided our lives. In the beginning the main idea was that of plurality and polytheism. In ancient Greece and Rome, there were various gods that were believed to control different aspects of life. At some point, people began to worship only one god, the god of their own tribe. This religious position of henotheism eventually shifted to monotheism, for many. With monotheism comes the idea that your god is not only the god of y...

    "The first precept was never to accept a thing as true until I knew it as such without a single doubt". -- Ren'e Descartes Le Discours de la M'ethode, I In the First Meditation, Descartes invites us to think skeptically. He entices us with familiar occasions of error, such as how the size of a distant tower can be mistaken.
