I need help with a class assignment -- answering some Philosophy questions.

Posted on 04/22/2013 10:42:44 AM PDT by kitchen-cook

I am needing to gather information for a paper for my Philosophy course. The information needs to be gathered from other people's thoughts. Could you help me? - What is ultimate reality to you? God? Matter? An impersonal force? Something else? - Is truth absolute or relative? - Are moral values absolute or relative? - Let's go back to ultimate reality. Do you believe in God? If so, why? If not, why not?


TOPICS: Apologetics; Skeptics/Seekers
KEYWORDS: hmmm; ilikecheese

OK, I understand what you are after. Van Til’s essay will still benefit you by helping you understand the arguments for “unbelief” and what to look for in the responses you receive.

I’d be interested in the results of your research. Please post your final essay when you get it done!

Two things before everyone has their fun with you. 1. There’s no free lunch. 2. You don’t have to be brilliant, not being stupid is enough.

I could not be an accident so there must be a God. If there is a God, then He must be the ultimate reality. If He created me, I belong to Him and owe Him all. My ultimate reality must be to be with Him and be aligned with Him. If He is God, then He is Truth. Truth is absolute. If something is not quite true, it’s false. If something is true, it can’t be false. Morals come from a higher pay grade than you. If there is a God, then why would He allow any other morals? God states what morals He requires and all other “morals” are false. If you make your own morals, there are no morals. You are not God.
