Explain and evaluate an Argument for the Existence of God.
Suppose you are put in charge of teaching either Paley’s argument, or Aquinas’ argument for the existence of God. To teach someone, you must take an objective stance, explain the steps of the argument, and explain possible objections.
For your initial post, identify the argument for the existence of God that you think is the strongest. Note: this is possible regardless of whether you are actually convinced by this argument or if you actually agree with the conclusion that God exists.
Paragraph 1-3: Explain either Aquinas’ argument or Paley’s argument. Cite page numbers, and include bibliography. These arguments are found in Vaughn, chapter 2. This should take two to three paragraphs (100 words or more each).
Paragraph 3-4: Explain the objection that you think is the best objection AGAINST the argument for the existence of God that you selected above. Here we are trying to avoid confirmation bias by trying to falsify the best argument in favor of a position. This should be done in another one or two paragraphs (100 words or more each). Cite page numbers from Vaughn.
