Q

what supports the teleological arguement

A

everything in the world has a purpose

since there is so much complexity in the world there must be a designer for it all

regularity of seasons

50
Q

theory of evolution

A

that everything has a cause

there must be an uncaused cause somewhere

that uncaused cause is God

52
Q

how does the cosmological arguement prove Gods existence

A

universe exists, so there must be a cause for that - God

if god doesnt exist then nothing can exist

there must be a first cause - Aquinas said

arguement contradicts itself. states itself that there are no uncaused causes, yet it says God does not need a cause

arguement based on assumptions therefore proves nothing

only shows that God may exist

if god can be without cause, then the universe could also be without a cause as it is as powerful as God
