The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 8: 2nd Argument for Changing Things

In his book When Skeptics Ask (hereafter: WSA), Norman Geisler presents his general version of a Thomist Cosmological Argument (hereafter: TCA).  The first premise of Geisler’s TCA is this: 1. Finite, changing things exist.  (WSA, p.18) Geisler provides a very brief argument in support of (1) in WSA.  In Part 4 of this series I The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 8: 2nd Argument for Changing Things

The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 7: 1st Argument for Changing Things

The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 4: Finite Changing Things Exist?

In his book When Skeptics Ask (1990), Norman Geisler presents a Thomist Cosmological Argument for the existence of God (although he FAILED to conclude the argument with the claim that “God exists”!).  I am now going to start evaluating the first premise of this argument: 1. Finite, changing things exist.  (When Skeptics Ask, p. 18; hereafter: WSA.) The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 4: Finite Changing Things Exist?

The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 3: Norman vs. Bradley

I’m having fun with critical examination of Norman Geisler’s Thomist cosmological argument in When Skeptics Ask.  There is also a more detailed and in-depth presentation of this argument in Chapter 9 of Geisler’s much older book The Philosophy of Religion (1974). I previously thought that the first premise of his Thomist cosmological argument was obviously The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 3: Norman vs. Bradley

Peter Kreeft’s Case for God

KREEFT’S CASE FOR GOD In September of 2017, I began to analyze and evaluate Peter Kreeft’s case for the existence of God in Chapter 3 of his book Handbook of Christian Apologetics  (co-authored with Ronald Tacelli).  In July of 2018, I finished examining his case for God, which consists of 20 arguments for God. Here are Peter Kreeft’s Case for God
