Proofs for the Existence of God

In this first lecture of our eight-part series on "Proofs for the Existence of God," we will be discussing the importance of the question, "Does God exist?"

In this lecture we are going to be discussing St. Anselm's deductive argument referred to as "The Ontological Argument."

Unlike Anselm's argument that begins with a definition of God, Aquinas' "Cosmological Arguments" begin with certain empirical truths about our ordinary experience.

In this lecture, we are going to look more closely at the premises laid out for Aquinas' cosmological arguments to determine whether the argument is sound.

The design argument not simply alludes to creation as contingent, as seen in the cosmological argument, but points to the beauty and intricacy of creation as observed in their teleological orientation.

In this lecture we will be examining an inductive argument for proving God's existence.

In this lecture, we will be looking at an atheist's argument against God: the argument from evil.

While the philosophy of atheism has been around for centuries, it has only recently taken the offensive position and, as a result, has manifested an unprecedented aggressiveness.
