    Why did God create evil?

    The simple answer is that God didn't create evil. Everything God created is good. Evil is not extant. Evil doesn't exist in and of itself. Evil is the absence of good, just as cold is the absence of heat, and darkness is the absence of light.

    Arguing God from Consciousness

    "Mind, rather than emerging as a late outgrowth in the evolution of life, has existed always as the matrix, the source and condition of physical reality - that the stuff of which physical reality is composed is mind-stuff. It is Mind that has composed a physical universe that breeds life, and so...

    Why Theology is Important

    C.S. Lewis has a unique way of explaining things in a sensible, practical manner. Theology is the science of God. Anyone who seeks to discover God will find theology useful. Theology is not God. Theology is useful in discovering God. "Theology means "the science of God," and I think any...

    Question for believers: Are we within God's jurisdiction?

    The etymology of the word "jurisdiction" is as follows: Middle English: from Old French jurediction, from Latin jurisdictio(n-), from jus, jur- ‘law’ + dictio ‘saying’ (from dicere ‘say’). Jurisdiction means to speak the law. So who has the ultimate right to speak the law? Is it God, or is it...

    The Fifth Proof of God

    The Fifth Way: Argument from Design We see that natural bodies work toward some goal, and do not do so by chance. Most natural things lack knowledge. But as an arrow reaches its target because it is directed by an archer, what lacks intelligence achieves goals by being directed by...

    The Fourth Proof of God

    The Fourth Way: Argument from Gradation of Being There is a gradation to be found in things: some are better or worse than others. Predications of degree require reference to the “uttermost” case (e.g., a thing is said to be hotter according as it more nearly resembles that which is...

    The Third Proof of God

    The Third Way: Argument from Possibility and Necessity (Reductio argument) We find in nature things that are possible to be and not to be, that come into being and go out of being i.e., contingent beings. Assume that every being is a contingent being. For each contingent being, there is a...

    The Second Proof of God

    The Second Way: Argument from Efficient Causes We perceive a series of efficient causes of things in the world. Nothing exists prior to itself. Therefore nothing [in the world of things we perceive] is the efficient cause of itself. If a previous efficient cause does not exist, neither...

    The First Proof of God

    As a rule men lead and women respond. Now I know this may ruffle the feathers of some feminists, but it really is reality. What do women want from men? They want them to be superheros. To always do the right thing the right way for the right reason. They don't want them to be gross or...

    The Laws of Nature existed before space and time

    If the universe is expanding then it must have a beginning. If you follow it backwards in time, then any object must come to a boundary of space time. You cannot continue that history indefinitely. This is still true even if a universe has periods of contraction. It still has to have a beginning...

    The account of Adam and Eve is allegorical. It is the account of how man knows right from wrong and when he violates it he rationalizes that he didn't violate it, but he never abandons the concept of right and wrong.
