Aquinas developed five ways for proving the existence of God, and one of them was a version of the cosmological argument that aims to answer the questions of how the universe began, why the universe was created, and who created it. The argument is a posteriori, as it is based on what evidence can be seen in the world, and it aims to prove the existence of the god of classical theism, that is, omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent. St Thomas Aquinas argued for the existence of a creator and he developed three key ideas in his theory; motion, cause and...
The Christian God is heavily regarded as God the creator, and the laws of their religion rely on God as a benevolent omniscient and omnipotent creator.

Psychological egoism is the view that people are always selfish. When was the last time you did a good deed? Did you do it for its own sake, or for your own? The egoist says that all of us are necessarily self-regarding. I shall argue that this view is incorrect....

We live in a world where good and evil cannot be absolutely defined. Different cultures, religious beliefs and of course individual prejudices and moral codes offer totally disparate notions of right and wrong. Cultural Imperialism refers to one culture imposing its views and code of conduct on another. What I...
