David Smoke Research Paper

The Dred Scott Decision of 1857 ruled that African-Americans, even ones who were not enslaved, were not protected under The Constitution and could never be citizens. This brings up questions that will be answered in this paper. Should slaves be American citizens? Is it morally correct for one to own another human? Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?

Of the three theistic arguments presented by the text, I find the “design”, or the teleological argument to be the most persuasive because unlike the other two arguments (ontological and first cause), the argument’s premises can be supported through observations of the physical world. The ontological and first cause argument are both more based in pure logic and reasoning, and they also can both be easily challenged for the same reason. On the other hand, the design argument focuses less on how the existence of God could be explained in the terms of a “catalyst”, and more how there is a statistically improbable amount of order in our universe (called Maximally Orderly Huge Universe”). Put simply, the design argument states that since there

The fine-tuning argument by Collins highlights a universe which has been perfectly created for suitable life and that the smallest miscalculation would have been unbearable to sustain life. According to the first premise, the reality of the fine-tuning is not improbable under theism, while premise two states, the fine-tuning is very improbable under the atheistic single-universe hypothesis. The conclusion is that fine-tuning data support robust evidence to support the design hypothesis over the atheistic singe-universe hypothesis. As already noted, most critics would reject the fine tuning-argument by making a compelling argument that there are likely many other big bang that we are probably unaware of and that it is highly probable the universe

Creation has it’s own freedom, which often results in pain. We experience pain more than anything else in this world because creation is risky and very winding, but this is a testament to God’s ability to create a world that can grow through mistakes. And in creation, there are the miraculous things that scientists haven’t explained yet, like the beautiful shape of snowflakes, or the wonder of a tornado, or better yet, the miracles of Jesus Christ. Williams suggest that the miraculous are founded in “a robust idea of action burning intensely in every moment of the world’s existence always just around the corner of our perception.” (48) God’s miracles are just around the corner essentially, because sometimes he comes so close to us that his supernatural elements show forth.

Gibson includes this work in order to illustrate how the previously mentioned scientist influenced also in the way God and his work were thought, how rational these ideas became thanks to the influence of science. The text’s main purpose is to provide evidence to the existence of a divine entity responsible for all creations on Earth. Paley resorts to the metaphor of a “watchmaker,” explaining that if one found a watch on the ground, object that is made up of many little parts, one would immediately assume that it has a creator. The thinker also argues that its parts are intricately put together to make it work, and he also explains that this object is not always perfect. The theologist also explains that the watch must have followed the “laws of metalics” (Paley 2010: 14) to be constructed.

Biology professor Kenneth Miller’s central argument is that science should not undermine one’s faith in God. “Science itself does not contradict the hypothesis of God.” He makes this argument by stating that science explains the things that God has made and in doing so, trying to prove the existence of God through natural or scientific means does not make sense. Once the supernatural is introduced, there is no way to use nature, thus science, to prove or disprove its existence. Miller argues that science gives us the window to the dynamic and creative universe that increases our appreciation of God’s work. The central point of his argument is evolution. Creationists, of the intelligent design movement, argue that nature has irreducible complex systems that could have only arisen from a creature or designer. This theory is widely supported among devout believers in the Bible and God. Miller argues that if they truly believe this, completely ignoring hard facts and theories, then they are seeking their God in the darkness. Miller, a Christian himself, believes that this “flow of logic is depressing”; to fear the acquisition of knowledge and suggest that the creator dwells in the shadows of science and understanding is taking us back to the Middle Ages, where people used God as an explanation for something they have yet to or want

On the 25th of January in 1759, Robert Burns was the first born of William Burnes and Agnes Broun in Alloway, Scotland. The eldest of seven children, Robert grew up to be the poet that is well known today for his many famous poems, including “A Red, Red Rose.” Burns’ work was influenced by occurrences in his life, with his poems often discussing love, “aspects of farm life, regional experience, traditional culture, class culture and distinctions, and religious practice” (The Poetry Foundation). Although Robert Burns was a poet of the 18th century, his work continues to stir up a wide range of emotions for the many people who read his poems.
