The existence of the self lends to the existence of God because of truths covered through inner experiences of being and thinking, which may have influenced Descartes’ truth in Cogitator Ergo Sum. Bioethics (c. 475-526 AD), a former senator and top-level assistant turned persona non grata, developed proof of the problem of divine foreknowledge as the concern that human freedom doesn’t truly exist due to God’s foreknowledge through His prophetic revelations in the Bible. His knowledge that events will happen cannot be changed-?which means that He can never be wrong: the outcome is guaranteed-?man has no will to follow but His.
Bioethics eventually come to solution: God is eternal (the simultaneous and complete possession of life) and thus cannot have knowledge of the future because He has no concept of time. He can experience every moment at once instead of in intervals due to his status as ultimate reality. Taking away free will as been labeled as simple necessity of nature (the mortality of man), whereas keeping as a result of a relationship is conditional (bayou are seen walking, then you must be walking).

Ansell of Canterbury (1033-1109) was an infamous follower of Augustine work who believed that philosophy rationally justified religious levels through necessary reasons (logically true proportions and valid inferences). He proves God’s existence in understanding and reality as an absolute truth: the idea of God in fact defines what it is to be the great conceivable being, which can only exist in reality. Being the greatest conceivable being is to be made up of all of the characteristics that would produce greatness.
Being only the greatest in understanding would mean He would be less than great-?which is impossible. Peter Ballard (1079-1142), a prominent French noble and student of scholasticism (the dialectical method of learning), solved the problem of universals (how two different individual subjects be similar) through immanent realism (the essential substance of each individual is present within all of them), despite his own criticisms. Several kinds of things or categories can be labeled as the same when they are in fact merely similar (different); in order to even register what something is, you have to know its universal.
However, Aristotle solution was contradictory to empiricism in that essential substance cannot be derived from the five senses, and so open for criticism. There can be no universality in individual things such as a unman and a beast, as this universality cannot be predicted and is therefore both rational and irrational, so he presents nominal as an alternative to imminent realism: what makes different individuals the same is nothing but a name-?there is only a similarity in terms, not the individuals themselves.
Oversee (1 126-1198), a pseudonym for the Arabic philosopher Bin Rushed, was most infamous for his commentary of the works of Aristotle despite his works having been forgotten in the West. He resisted the theologian interpretation of the Koran-?the universe was derived was a specific point in he past -and instead advocated for the traditional view that God and the world have coexisted for an eternity, which closes the gap between the physical and metaphysical.
A pure form, or nature, is required to uphold the endlessness of matter, motion, and time; as such, He is an Intelligence-?active and necessary in existence -?and as a nature, this lends to His divine and eternal knowledge as proven by Bioethics. This divine knowledge is the cause of all things, as God caused the formation of the universe that has existed since his beginning. TO deny causes is to deny Him, ND neither can be denied unless with the intention to let absurdities prosper and established principles refuted.
Moodiness (1 135-1204), a Spanish Jew whose family chose exile over conversion, is known for founding agnosticism (indecisiveness or ignorance over the truth). He uses the following analogy to prove that rules that currently apply to the time have always done so: conception is to a human being as creation is to the universe; rules that currently apply to human beings may not apply at conception; rules that apply to the universe now may not apply at creation. Nothing can come from nothing because something can’t just simply come into existence without an origin; however, the creation model says that God created the world from nothing.
Moodiness counters that just because nothing can no longer come from nothing, that doesn’t mean that creation couldn’t have come from nothing eons ago. SST. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was an Italian noble who sought to reconcile the Bible with Aristotle metaphysics through his own fifth empiricist truth: God’s knowledge can imply reason for an individual to perform a function successfully, as he has already been endowed with a pacific form of causal efficiency.
He expands on the second answer of the Typhoon question (whether or not morality is derived from His commands, or if they are concurrent) and so develops his natural theory that the world is congruent to our moral code. Supported by Aristotle doctrine of four causes (who, what, why, and how), the acts of doing good (natural inclination) and avoiding evil are a priori that support his view on ethics. Acting on natural inclinations is guided by reason as an individual’s function to perform and should not be ignored.
