The Ontological Argument claims that the concept of God is a concept of a perfect being. And if a being is by definition perfect, then it must exist. After all, if it did not exist, then it would not be perfect. Does this line of reasoning prove that God exists, or is it just a philosopher’s trick?

I think that if you don't actively believe in a personal God concerned with the fate of humans, you are an "atheist," because you *have no belief* in a deity. You can be an atheist without categorically denying the possibility God exists.

Take the example of the chicken and the egg question, 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?'

Since there must be a chicken to lay an egg one would say that there must have been the chicken first. However there must have been an egg from which the chicken hatched that laid the egg. Therefore there must have been a chicken to lay the egg and there must have been an egg from which the chicken who laid the egg hatched which must have been laid by a chicken .... etc.

So my question is, firstly, who does someone go about solving this question without relying on external information, i.e. the chicken evolved to the point at which we know today or god created the first chicken?

How does solving this problem help in the explanation of the origin of life on earth? Evolution and creation theory both rely on circular reasoning, creation is true because the book says so and the book is true because all things were created, evolution is true because things evolved and since things evolved evolution must be true. Neither of these arguments hold any credibility.

Please explain if possible

Thanks.

Someone used Warren Farrell as a source to prove men make less money then women. Then someone responds with this.

"Sigh. You just cited an article sourced from WARREN FARRELL, laughingstock of university sociology departments across the nation. And I highly doubt pretty much all of those numbers. So when you can cite these numbers from scholars anywhere who are not Warren Farrell, we'll talk".

Is this a type of logical fallacy?

Hello

I am an 18 year old who has just started college. For this past summer i have been in deep meditation and in search for the freedom of my soul. A few nights ago i had this realization that college was leading me to a path of self service and one that clings to society. Ever since then i have been in deep confusion and had the inability to escape my mind. I am finding myself sleeping worse and starting to care about what others think way to much. When i rarely have the alone time to relax my mind i find myself in this state of tranquility where i feel as if i can be happy if i do nothing for the rest of my life. I think that it might be my calling to drop out of college and just devote my life to others who need asistence just to live. Currently my major is in primary education and that is what i want to do for the rest of my life but it just seems as if teaching would bind me to a small group of people that i can help, what do i do?
Please respond with any type of insite....
