The C.A. Extra Material and Links

As we study the Cosmological Argument, check out these links to familiarise yourselves with the key issues and views. In particular, watch the youtube clips of the ACTUAL radio debate between Russell and Copleston over 50 years ago - i'd recommend watching in pairs and groups and help eachother with any difficult ideas/concepts. Pause where necessary! This debate has come up as both Part A and Part B questions in recent years and MUST be known and understood.

Enjoy.... (I'll add more at a later date and remember that some of the O.A. links below still have relevant info)

To be honest, there is a wealth of information on youtube on these arguments and you should be watching, learning and making notes in your free time. Do it in groups and share info......

The O.A. Extra Materials

Here are some useful links for extra reading/independent research on the Ontological Argument for God's existence:
http://www.philosophyofreligion.info/theistic-proofs/the-ontological-argument/
http://www.existence-of-god.com/ontological-argument.html

Save the early part of the links in your favourites as they will be useful for the other arguments as well.

Goodness of God Essay

Just a reminder that the Goodness of God essays are due in on Monday 25th January or the first lesson thereafter if I don't have you on that date. As always, there are 2 parts:

a) Explain how God's Goodness is shown in the Bible (25 marks)
b)

Ensure the Homework on the O.A. gets priority however as it is due for your next lesson!!! We can't progress unless all the answers have been fully understood in sufficient depth. You've always got next weekend for the essay and I promise I won't give a homework next lesson!

Good luck with it - remember to refer to your mark schemes before submitting final drafts.
