Fides et Ratio

Thursday, March 3, 2016. The Modal Third Way. Among other arguments I've defended in favor of classical theism, I have also defended a Thomistic modal argument inspired by Robert Maydole. Let's first define two terms:. Something necessary is something that exists and cannot possibly-not exist. Something contingent is something that possibly exists and possibly does not exist. Contingency should not be conflated with "dependency.". Here is the argument:. 1 Something presently exists. (Premise). 2 If an or...

Fides et Ratio: May 2015

http://dougbenscoter.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 23, 2015. A Knock-Down Argument in Favor of Religious Freedom. Feel free to post your objections to this post, but I'm finished debating the issue. I only write this because religious freedom is being threatened, and religious freedom is one of the foundational principles of our Constitution. Marriage, in general, is not. Who would object that I should be legally required to record a Satanic band's music? I'm not saying homosexuals are Satanists, but the principle is the same nonetheless.

Fides et Ratio: April 2015

http://dougbenscoter.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 4, 2015. A Cumulative Case for God's Existence. Richard Swinburne is famous for his inductive arguments which lead to a cumulative case for God's existence. He distinguishes a correct-C inductive argument (in which the evidence X increases for Y more than in the absence of X) from a correct P-inductive argument (in which case, the overall balance of the evidence for Y is more probable than not). Let's consider some inductive arguments, even if they are not Swinburne's. 2 Self-interest is ...

Fides et Ratio: July 2015

Monday, July 20, 2015. The Mereological Argument for Pantheism. It should be clear that I am not a pantheist, but a classical theist. Just three arguments in favor of classical theism I support are the First Way, the Fifth Way, and the Argument from Desire. Nevertheless, I'd like to defend pantheism for the sake of argument. 1 I exist. (Premise, contingent. 2 (Hence) Some- i.e. least one- thing exists. (From 1). 4 (Hence) There is exactly one thing of which every thing is a part. (From 2, 3). An Evolutio...

I am offering an open challenge to any member of the Westboro Baptist Church to defend their theological positions in a formal debate. We will find a moderator that both of us will agree upon, and the debate will take place in writing. Please let me know if you are willing to engage me in a formal debate, letting me know either here on my blog or by email: dougbenscoter@hotmail.com. Douglas R. Benscoter, M.T.S.

Fides et Ratio: The Benign "First Way"

http://dougbenscoter.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-benign-first-way.html

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. The Benign "First Way". St Thomas Aquinas' "First Way" provides us with certainty regarding the existence of God. I only think it's unfortunate that Christians today are often treated as though being a Christian is so unusual. The First Way is a fairly benign argument, so much so that any rejection of the argument's premises (and its conclusion) is demonstrably false. Here's how the argument goes:. 1 Changing things exist. (Premise)

The Christian Agnostic: March 2016

Omnia autem probate quod bonum est tenete. What is a Christian Agnostic? Wednesday, March 30, 2016. What I believe (and don't). A recent conversation around the blogosphere has left me pondering whether or not my readers actually know my viewpoints regarding much of Christian theology. After all, the name of the blog is. The Christian Agnostic,. Isn't it, and how many of my readers actually know where I stand on key issues of Christian theology? I'm not sure, to be honest. So, then, what exactly are.

The Christian Agnostic: A treatise on brute facts

Omnia autem probate quod bonum est tenete. What is a Christian Agnostic? Tuesday, July 26, 2016. A treatise on brute facts. Two years ago I wrote a post. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Defines a brute fact as synonymous with an unexplainable fact. [1] In the same vein, Wikipedia states. The explanation for X, but that X doesn't have an explanation to be known in the first place. What should be noteworthy at this point is the notion of a brute fact is defined in terms of. Extrinsic). The pre...

Physicist Sean Carroll's new book The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself. Was released this past Tuesday (yay!

The Christian Agnostic: I'm one step away from being an atheist

http://christian-agnostic.blogspot.com/2016/06/im-one-step-away-from-being-atheist.html

Omnia autem probate quod bonum est tenete. What is a Christian Agnostic? Wednesday, June 15, 2016. I'm one step away from being an atheist. Readers of this blog know that I believe in God, and am, obviously, a theist. And most know that I also believe that God's existence can be rationally justified - as I have attempted to demonstrate on this blog - even if not everyone finds such justification to be overwhelmingly persuasive. I, thus, believe that my belief in God is rationally grounded. No matter how ...

I was born on July 22, 1990 and raised in El Paso, Texas, where I still currently reside. Despite the tone of my posts, I'm actually a very goofy and sarcastic individual who is almost never serious.

http://christian-agnostic.blogspot.com/2016/07/where-have-i-been.html

Omnia autem probate quod bonum est tenete. What is a Christian Agnostic? Saturday, July 9, 2016. Where have I been? But, the sod was delivered and installed this past week, and I'm freaking glad that's done with. Third, I was barely informed a few weeks ago that I will also be teaching physics this upcoming year, which I was stoked about. However, that means that I have to prepare lessons, and labs, before school starts - because I'm a good teacher, dammit. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

What are the reasons for Loftus' fall from grace? And The End of Christianity. Anthology set for release later this year, and is already writing another. Secondly, Loftus is not.

Blogger “The Thinker” has, over the past few months, been reviewing, chapter by chapter (see here. Philosopher Edward Feser’s TheLast Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism.
