| Questão | Responda |
| a posteriori | based on observation and experience |
| emperical | knowledge gained through experience of the senses |
| inductive proof | constructed on evidence or experience that puts forward a possible conclusion based on these |
| what example did Aquinas use for the first way (motion in the cosmological argument) | Wood becoming hot It has within it the properties to get hot but needs something to cause it to happen |
| Aquinas first way cosmological | motion or change. unmoved mover or what Aristotle called the 'prime mover' a state of potentiality to actuality but needs an efficient cause |
| Aquinas second way - cosmological | cause and effect everything in nature is subject to the law of this. Domino analogy (efficient cause, intermediate cause, ultimate cause) |
| quinas third way | contingency and necessity. everything has possibility of not existing. in order for eveything to exist something non-contingent must exist and this is God. |
| Aquinas' example for third way (contingency) | Mother and child |
| The Kalam cosmological argument | meaning 'to discuss' modernised by apologist William Lane Craig. Bases itself on the impossibility of the universe being infinite. 1. Everything has a cause of existence 2. the universe exists 3. Therefore the universe has a cause of existence 4. since no scientific evidence, it must be explained by a personal agent |
| Craigs arguments to back his second point to the Kalam cosmological argument | 1. an actual infinite cannot exist. 2. a beginningless temporal series of events is an actual infinite. 3. means that a beginningless temporal series of events cannot exist. Eg of library of red and black books |
| challenges to the cosmological | Science of quantum physics, chaos theory and similar radical progressions have a role in diminishing belief. Hume - 'fallacy of composition' we have mothers but the universe doesnt. - no evidence to say the universe had a cause or what it could be - why is it the God of classical theism - no experienc eof its creation so there is no certainty |
