The study reviews and analyzes some prominent and not so prominent Arguments that have been proffered for and against the existence of God, as God is understood according to the Judeo-Christian-Islamic perspective in general. Models of elementary logic are used to identify contradictions or inconsistencies. This paper adopts the position that the Arguments fail as proofs; it is not possible for argumentation to prove anything without correlative empirical evidence. Research materials include primary, secondary, and Internet sources relating to the Arguments. Findings are discussed at length in each chapter, and are recapped and in the concluding summary. It is concluded the arguments fail as proofs; they merely serve as instruments for persuasion. | | Subject | : | Philosophy, religion and theology; Religion; Philosophy; Logic; God; Christians; Judaism; 0422:Philosophy; 0322:Religion; 0395:Logic; 0322:Philosophy | | Added Entry | : | W.
