Arguments for the existence of God

Welcome back to school. Hooray, it's JanuaRAY.

Just to emphasise the rhyme.

First topic for this term is arguments for the existence of God. There are three which this post will explore.

  • Cosmological
  • Teleological
  • Ontological

I have researched some interesting videos which you might find helpful in understanding what these different arguments teach.This website is also very helpful.

Teleological argument:

Explanation of the argument can be found here.

Criticism of the argument is here:

Cosmological Argument: Explanation of the argument can be found here.

Here is a helpful video explaining it

You can find some criticism from different philosophers about the Cosmological argument, but it is a little confusing, so I do not want to blow your brains sky high!!

Finally the Ontological argument, which is explained here.

This one is a little out there. I would love to hear what you have to say about it!!
