Inconsistencies of God

Question 1

What does the Paradox of the stone attack?

Answer 1

Prove God’s omnipotence as incoherant

Question 2

What type of argument is the paradox of the stone?

Answer 2

It is a deductive one, and is a priori as no premesis are justified by experience.

Its also paradoxical (but this isn’t really neccassary)

Question 3

Explain the paradox of the stone

Answer 3

On the basis of God making a stone, there are only 2 options. He can either make a stone he can’t move (1), or he can’t do this (2). If God can do (1) then there is something he can’t do (move the stone). If God can’t do (1) then there is something God cannot do (make the stone).

Therefore there will always be something God can’t do meaning that he can’t perform every task, proving that God’s omnipotence is incoherant

Question 4

What is the free will omniscience argument trying to prove?

Answer 4

If God is omniscience then I am not free.

Question 5

What type of argument is the free will omniscience argument?

Answer 5

It is a deductive one, it is also a priori as no premesis are justified be experience

Question 6

Explain the free will omniscience argument

Answer 6

If God is omniscient then God knows all true propositions. If he knows this then God knows what I will do. This means that I am unable to do anything else*. If I can’t do anything else then I am not free.

Therefore, if God is omniscient then I am not free.

*God can’t be wrong. If God knows that you will do it you will do it.

Question 7

What is the Euthyphro dilemma trying to prove

Answer 7

To prove God’s omnibenevolence false

Question 8

What type of argument is the Euthyphro dilemma

Answer 8

A deducive one, and a priori as no premesis are justified by experience.

Question 9

Explain the Euthyphro dilemma

Answer 9

There are only 2 ways of understanding God’s omnibenevolance.
1) Actions are morally right independently of God’s commands.
2) Actions are morally right only because God commands them.

1 causes problems fror God’s Omni since he is not the source of morality (is there something above him???)
2 causes problems for God’s Omni because God can’t give a moral justification for particular actions being right or wrong. This makes morality arbitrary*

*based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or syst
