Lesson 2 - The Existence of God.

1. The Kalam Argument for God posited that creation …

   1. is spontaneous.

   2. has a finite beginning which would require a creator.

   3. is beyond our understanding so we would need a God.

   4. None of the above

2. The Ontological Argument was authored by

   1. Anselm of Canterbury.

   2. Saint Thomas Aquinas.

   3. The first Pope of Rome.

   4. William Lane Craig.

3. The Ontological Argument states that:

   1. God exists in reality because a superior being would exist in reality and not just in our imagination alone.

   2. God is a superior being that simply exists or doesn’t.

   3. God is all powerful so he has to exist.

   4. None of the above.

4. The Design Argument looks at nature

   1. From the eyes of man..

   2. Its efficiency, inherent beauty, and order.

   3. And all that is primarily in the sea.

   4. And how animals behave towards man.

5. The Argument from Conscience states that:

   1. God’s conscience is beyond ours so he must exist.

   2. God’s conscience is moral.

   3. Man is obligated to have a moral conscience by something bigger than themselves and the “bigger thing” is God.

   4. We can never fully understand God’s conscience so he must exist.

6. The atheist’s view of the moral argument

   1. Nothing in this world is really moral.

   2. We have a variable moral responsibility to be good.

   3. Morality is not independent of time and place.

   4. We are a chance occurrence of nature and have no obligation for moral behavior.

7. The Argument from Desire:

   1. We desire a lot of things and should desire a God too.

   2. God desires us so we should desire him too.

   3. We can only desire something that exists or that we innately know exists such as a God.

   4. We desire the things that God desires so he must exist.

8. How can we best describe Pascal’s Wager?

   1. If we choose God and he does exist we gain everything.

   2. If we choose God and he doesn’t exist we lose nothing.

   3. If we don’t choose God and he does exist we lose everything.

   4. All of the above.
