hm!! it has been dinosaurs years since i last post!! LOL!!

well well well.. all that's because of exams aint it?!

ohh yea and that virtually means i've taken my last examination paper in my entire smu life.. wow, 4 years of hard work heh.

woo.. i must say for my last paper on Philosophy of Religion, i was pretty lucky! i seldom attribute anything to luck for some time, but this time i must say lady luck is smiling at me!

for the whole of the course, i wasnt really in agreement with the entire class on certain issues with concerns about the related arguments about the "truth" of God's existence(seems fun heh? but hello, the course is sure tough stuffs!)

and so, for those that im not really in agreement with, i tend to turn blind eye to the contents, neglecting on the possible consequences of what it could have brought for the final paper!! lol.

But what luck it turn out to be, i won the final coin toss! lol.

Now below are the 16 possible exam questions.

1) Compare and Contrast the disciplines of philosophy of religion and theology
2) How does Anselm argue that God's existence is self-evident? what is Aquinas
assessment of Anselm's position? Do you agree with Aquinas? why or why not?
3) Present and critically assess Aquinas' 2nd way.
4) Present and critically assess Aquinas' 1st way.
5) Present and critically assess Hume's account of the argument from Design.
6) What is Principle of Sufficient Reason(PSR)? With respect to Aquinas 2nd way,
does the specific formulation of the PSR we choose matter?
7) The Kalam Cosmological Argument Run as Follows:
i)Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its beginning to exist.
ii)The universe began to exist.
iii)Therefore, the universe has a cause of its beginning to exist.
Present and critically assess one line of argument used to support premise (ii).
8) Present and critically assess the argument from fine tuning.
9) State the logical form of problem of evil then assess plantinga's free will
defense.
10) State the evidential form of the problem of evil and summarize and access the
debate betweem Wykstra and Rowe concerning the CORNEA principle.
11) Is there a best possible world? why or why not?
12) Evaluate the claim that "Good cannot exists without evil"
13) Present and critically assess James Ross argument that there are immaterial
aspects of thought. How does Ross' argument relate to more general discussion of
the soul?
14) Present and assess Basin's argument for the immortality of the soul.
15) Present and Assess Robert Adam's presentation of the following;
Does God Harm
(a) Possibile creatures in not creating them?
(b) Actual creatures in creating them even though they are flawed?
16) Present and discuss Nagel and Rosenbaum on the symmetry argument that we should
not fear death.

And the coin toss flip turns out that we only need to do the even numbered questions for the 1st 8 questions. And that's lucky for me! for i simply dun have much of a memory about all the immortality and souls' stuffs...

hehz, and that said, i've cleared my most dreaded module.. lol.
