Document Summary
Week 1: is there a god?- exam review. Atheism argument states that the existence of god cannot be emphatically proven. Cosmological argument an argument for the existence of a first cause to the universe - supported by plato and aristotle. Cosmology the science of the origin and development of the universe. Efficient cause agent which brings something about. Fideist the doctrine that knowledge depends on faith or revelation. First cause cause of all efficient causes- prime move - god. God spot a hypothesized area in the brain for spirituality. Teleological argument the argument for the existence of god from the evidence of order and hence design, in nature. If it cannot be proven positively, you must assume a negative response. I don"t think it completely proves the existence of god because only the scans done on christian believers that the four regions associated w/ relating to other humans lit up.
