Please select the subtopic:
I have proven nothing.
Secondly,
I ask that before you give up, you examine all three main proofs carefully and
impartially: the two from Aquinas, and mine.
Now then, if you have examined -without pessimism- the argument
and the objections and replies to premises, choose which part of
the argument you wish to speak about:
God's Definition,
the section on time, or
the conclusion.
Finally, if you have not read the objections and replies to my argument
from time as I asked, please do so before emailing. It will save you
time and save me from retyping what I have already written for you.
I get so much email, I must request these things.
Have you done what I requested? Yes.
No.
If you wish to argue from the Bible that God should not be thought of
as being outside of time, please click here
before emailing. I deal with this matter there.
If you have not read the objections and replies to premise 1 of my argument
from time, please click here

No.
I get so much email, I must ask this.
Have you done what I requested? Yes.
No.
Otherwise, please do read my replies to objections against (6)
and (7) of my argument before sending me mail. Then, by all means!

Aquinas' Arguments
(as Summarized by Kreeft)
God's Definition
About Time
Concluding God's Existence from Time's Beginning.
"Not Proven":
I welome your argument or comments. But before you decide that God does not
exist, I must ask if you do not want God to exist. This can affect
a person's thinking and actually sway him from impartiality, which is
unfortunate.
Aquinas' Arguments:
If you have difficulty with the
argument from design, then I ask that you first read
Epictetus' paraphrase. This might save me the trouble of quoting
him to you in response to your email about it.
God Defined:
If you wish to argue from the perspective of one of the
Eastern Religions, please read first my
Treatment of Eastern Religions. I probably answer your
objection there.
Time:
Before emailing me, please make sure you have read my
clarifications and replies to
common objections by clicking on premises 3, 4, and 5 in my
main proof.
From Time's Beginning to God:
Some people agree that history had a beginning in this universe,
but they still wish to
speak of time as having being cyclical, either in the sense of the
Eastern Religions' "Samsara" or the big bang - big crunch
theory of certain cosmologists. If this is you, please
read read my clarification and replies to common objections to
premise 5 first.
