Description

I had some guests reschedule some shows or later in the month and so I figured I would put on a bonus solo show whereby I present and evaluate 3 Classical or Historical arguments for the existence of God.  Starting with Cosmological arguments, I first evaluate Thomas Aquinas' "2nd Way" argument showing that all natural things have an ultimate or uncaused effiecient cause (i.e., God) of their existence.  Next, I turn to Samuel Clarke's argument that even an infinite series of dependant things requires an independant external explanation of it's existence via God.  Finally, I switch gears and focus in on William Paley's famous argument from analogy for design via his "Watchmaker" analogy.
