justification. Based on the analysis of two philosophies, naturalism and theism, this paper argues that theism provides a better framework for making sense of morality and living a moral live, because it has more explanatory power regarding the notion of free will that people have. Naturalism mainly is though as a type of scientism, which implies that only things recognized by scientists as real are real. Although, there are many naturalists who hold this particular view, it is not the necessary feature
Question 2: According to Louis P. PoJman, theism (If true), provides eight these which are advantageous to humans. Unpack what the eight claims involve and why they can supply a sense of meaning to humans. Can some of these eight be attained through secular world views? If so, which ones and why? Why does PoJman think theism is a better option than secular approaches when it comes to meaning of life issues? PoJman recognizes one serious difficulty to theism; what is it and how does he attempt to minimize
truth is concerned, it is not easy to look at other individual’s perspectives from one’s own view. “To understand the behavior of the individual […] It is necessary to relate his congenial response to the behavior that is singled out in the institution of his culture” (Austin) in other worlds to understand an individual’s way of life we must first understand his religion before considering other others view from a personal standpoint. Religion is interpreted in very different ways as different cultures
Origen, the Cappadocians, Maximos the Confessor, and many others, “The Logos in His kenosis, His self-emptying, is hidden everywhere, and the types of His reality, whether in the forms of persons or teachings, will not be the same outside the Christian world as they are within it.” This anthropocentric Christology and doctrine of salvation are inseparably connected to the loss of the cosmic pneumatology found in Scripture and the patristic

Assignment: Gospel Essentials There are three basic world views recognized. A world view is "A set of assumptions or beliefs about reality that affect how we think and how we live” (Krise 2017) it can also be described as "The comprehensive perspective from which we interpret all of reality"(Krise 2017). Simply put it is our beliefs and views about the world, god or no god, and the afterlife. The three world views are Atheism, Pantheism, and Theism.

remainder of the chapter to compare and contrast the two views. Chapter three evaluates the evidential problem of evil. In this chapter Evans uses William Rowe’s version of the evidential problem. Using Rowe’s argument as a base, Evans then notes the various ways that prominent philosophers such as Kvanvig, Alston, and Wykstra have questioned Rowe’s argument. The author also states that anytime the problem of evil is considered, expanded theism should be the subject. In chapter four the author looks
The Negative-yet-Positive Ubiquity of Natural Evil in the Universe and God’s Kenotic Presence in Creation With regard to the ubiquitous prevalence of pain, suffering, and death in the course of evolution, Pecocke sees both positive and negative aspects of natural evil. The increase in complexity that led to the emergence of consciousness was actually the consequence of the competition among species for better survival in natural selection. In that vein, the increase of entropy contributed the diversification
traditions to promote communication and peace worldwide. This trend is closely aligned with philosophical issues of humanity, beginning with the historical precedence set by Jesus working within and across varied cultures, reconciling the ills of the world with the laws of God that not only peace must abound but that salvation is assured for all who believe in the Word of God.
