Question 5

Disagree-no evidence that something needs to be caused , such as electrons

Question 9

Proof 3’s PREMISE

Answer 9

Everything in the world has a beginning and an end and everything relies on something to exist. Everything relies on higher being that can also bring others into existence.. this would be a necessary being that did not exist fully. this is God

Question 10

Proof 3’s FOR

Answer 10

God’s treats are omnipresent-all present
And transcendent -beyond the range of a human. These align with the proof and would mean God was necessary being.

Question 11

Proof 3’s AGAINST

Answer 11

The proof does not explain or proof that the existence of something is necessary or that anything is necessary. He does not explain why God is necessary for humans to survive.

Question 12

Proof 3’s CONCLUSION

Answer 12

I disagree because argument doesn’t prove anything such as why beings need God to exist or why the existence of something is necessary

Question 13

Proof 4’s PREMISE

Answer 13

Everything has a certain amount of goodness or perfection. There must be a source from where this goodness came from a must and that must cause the qualities and all these other things.. this source must be 100% perfect. this is God

Question 14

Proof 4’s FOR

Answer 14

Nothing on earth can be perfect or perfectly good therefore something such as a higher being must hold a higher form of goodness and absolute perfection. this works with God’s characteristics of Omni benevolent

Question 15

Proof 4’s AGAINST

Answer 15

Goodness could just be a human concept. Everyone views perfection and goodness as something different and if there is one source of goodness where did the evil come from? Did it come from God?.

Question 16

Proof 4’s CONCLUSION

Answer 16

I disagree because if there was an u,it ate source of perfection then there must be an ultimate source of evil. If this is from God then it goes against his omnibenevolence

Question 17

Proof 5’s PREMISE

Answer 17

Everything in the water is the purpose that they worked towards. Unintelligent being such as objects and vegetation must be guided to their source.

Question 18

Proof 5’s FOR

Answer 18

Gods qualities
Omniscient
Omnipotent
Works as he needs to lead unintelligent beings to purpose

Question 19

Proofs 5’s AGAINST

Answer 19

Evolution could’ve caused unintelligent beings to appear that they have a purpose when in reality they are just surviving

Question 20

Proof 5’s CONCLUSION

Answer 20

I agree because all beings have a purpose but unintelligent beings would not know their purpose so it makes that a higher being would have to guide them.
