Problem: Of the many positions we looked at these past two weeks discussing possible evidence of God's existence, which philosopher makes the best, or strongest argument for or against the existence of God (Anselm, Paley, Pascal, Byron or Russell)?
Why is this the strongest position, to you (defend your position with evidence and good reasons)?
What is one weakness of this view (all views have weaknesses, identify one)? How might the philosopher respond to this objection? Support your claims.
Works from this unit to choose from:
1. Plato, "Euthyphro"
2. Saint Anselm, "The Ontological Argument"
3. William Paley, "Natural Theology"
4. Blaise Pascal, "The Wager"
5. Bertrand Russell, "Why I Am Not a Christian"
6. Chris Byron, "Why God is Most Assuredly Evil"
