philosophy of gods existence
Philosophy paper
Clearly state and thoroughly defend one particular version of either the cosmological or ontological argument for God’s existence. Make the argument appear as plausible as possible. Then, develop some strong objections to the argument. Next, on behalf of the theistic proponent of the argument, offer at least one reply to each of the objections. Finally, you be the judge. At the end of the day, do you agree or disagree with the argument? Explain. In your explanation, make sure to engage the objections or replies that were most influential on your thinking. The body of the Paper should be five to six pages long (not counting the works cited page). Use 12-point Times New Roman font with double spacing and 1” margins on all sides. Use left justification (not full justification). Format the Paper according to the MLA style guidelines, and cite sources using the MLA in-text parenthetical style. Provide a MLA-style works cited page. Consult, engage, and cite at least four substantive, scholarly sources. The authors of these sources must be college or university professors in philosophy. Texts assigned for class may also serve as sources. You will likely need to skim several sources to find four relevant to your Paper. Make meticulous notes and citations so you do not accidentally commit plagiarism. Turn in your Paper on Blackboard only. It is perfectly acceptable to write a Paper on a philosophical topic that is unrelated to this prompt, but you must receive prior approval from the professor to write on your topic of choice.
also please provide an outline and a bibliography of the sources you intend to use and cite.
