The purpose of this assignment is to give you practice in Student Outcomes 2-6, more particularly:
2. Identify and apply a variety of metaphysical theory
3. Evaluate and differentiate between an epistemological, a metaphysical and an ethical question
4. Understand and apply the criteria of correct philosophical reasoning
5. Understand the difference between a rhetorically good argument and a rationally good argument.
6. Identify, reconstruct and evaluation arguments posed by philosophers
Outside of this course, this will help you understand and apply good reasoning, spot problems in another person's side of a debate (or spot them in your own) and know how to rephrase a person's stance in better, more easy to understand ways.
Task:
In the reading as well as the modules, we have discussed many different reasons for the belief that there God exists. Here are the possible arguments:
1. The Design Argument
2. The Fine Tuning Argument
3. The First Cause Argument
4. The Ontological Argument
In this assignment you need to:
1. Choose one of these arguments and explain it
2. Explain one of the objections to the argument
3. Explain whether you think that the issue is damning (a major problem which the person trying to make the argument should be concerned with) or worth it (a minor problem which the person trying to make the argument doesn't need to care too much about)
4. Explain why you think that
