Credit HoursRecitation/Lecture HoursStudio HoursClinical HoursLab Hours


A study of classical and contemporary contributions to the philosophical investigation of the existence and nature of God. The chief arguments for the existence of God and the critiques of these arguments will be carefully analyzed and evaluated. The chief arguments offered in support of atheism and agnosticism will also be carefully studied and appraised. Arguments affirming the divine attributes, omniscience, omnipotence, immutability, and infinite goodness, will be studied as well as atheistic or agnostic critiques based on human free agency and on the problem of evil. Consideration will be given to the question of the legitimacy of belief in God without proof of God's existence. Finally some attention will be given to reasonable responses to several recent books which seek to move the wider reading public from faith in God to atheism. Note: This course fulfills Objective 4c of the University Core Curriculum.
