Hence, it doesn’t exist. Following the above, everything God creates is therefore perfect, hence omnipotent, a quality coherent to the attributes of the god of theism. Again, Augustine attempts to take the blame off God by saying that evil is committed by humanity’s abuse of free will. Yet, God couldn’t have created humans without free will because the point of our existence would be lost, as free will differentiates humans and gives us individuality – it gives our life meaning and purpose. If we were not given free will, the lack of freedom and choice would render us similar to robots.
Free will means that God does not have any set destiny for us. If God were to create free agents that could only choose good, that would mean that God laid out a destiny of good for all agents. Even though God is omniscient, free will is still possible because while God may know the choices we are going to make, he is not the cause of them. Since God does not choose or cause our destiny, we still have free will. In response to the option in which God creates a world with free agents and no evil, a world with no evil would mean a world with no good, so it would be impossible for God to create a free agents that only choose good, since evil does not exist.
By using utilitarianism ethics it would seem the benefits of not airing the prank would be more beneficial. As this would be seen by the radio station as maintaining their professional integrity, it would avoid the possibility of impacting their relationships with multiple stakeholders negatively. From the positives and negatives discussed, it would seem under utilitarianism ethics the prank would not be ethical to broadcast. Kantian Ethics The decision to not air the prank would not be delayed under Kantian ethics. As the main issue at stake is the process of the matter; therefore the principle of duty must be followed.
If conduct that is counter-productive to the aim of helping families resolve conflict is brought to our attention, regardless of whether it had to do with compliance with standards or statutes, we have the discretion to remove the appointed individual and never to appoint them again. There is no need for external standards to have a process of accountability for these appointed individuals. The argument that the statute would provide greater protection for the parties by requiring licensure is not persuasive, since the other side of the coin is that the proposed amendments presumes the parenting coordinator is acting in good faith. Licensure is not what makes an effective parenting
All of these experiments were done with his assistant, Dr. Richtofen. Without Maxis, Richtofen and Schuster would complete the first successful teleportation with a walnut using a very small amount of 115. When Maxis found out about this, he criticized Richtofen for not working on his project and that teleporting a walnut wasn't a big deal. Maxis then told Richtofen that he was going to make a deal with the Nazi party for money and equipment in exchange for weapons. These new weapons Group 935 created were also powered by 115.
When Carr draws his attention to the assumption of Larry Page, he is unsettled by his statement that we'd all be better off with artificial intelligence. This statement is somewhat unsettling to me as well. How can someone so quickly put down the intelligence of human beings and say that an artificial intelligence would be better? Are we headed down that road? Eventually will we rely on artificial intelligence for everything?
If a human has their intelligence artificially destroyed and then reprogrammed to only do specific tasks and nothing else, are they still a person, or are they a thing? I came to the conclusion that if it lives, it is a person no matter what their mental state is. Eejits are something that should never exist, but I would still consider an eejit a person and treat them as such. I would hope that humanity never lowers itself to the point where humans become drones when they do bad. It just seems to unethical to me even though I can see how they would be useful.
If the teleological argument is correct in saying that God created humans like a machine, then you would expect humans to be perfect creations, but we are not. Humans are flawed in many ways including the fact that we have extra organs, and that our skeletons are not created properly for the way we walk. Humans are not machines in any way, and the fact that we are not perfect machines is explained by the theory of evolution. Therefore the theory of evolution is proof against the teleological argument and that God is the creator of the human race and the earth. I feel that this argument fails to prove the existence of God.
You would not assume that it was made due to random changes in nature; you would think that the watch had a designer. Because it has a purpose (to tell the time) it must have a designer. As the universe also has signs of complexity and intelligence, it too must have a designer? The watch is an unintelligent being in the case, with the designer being the intelligence. If we use analogy to compare the watch to the universe then there must be some intelligent being which directs all unintelligent beings towards their end.
The focus seems to be on the mechanism (the firearms) rather than who uses the mechanism. I referred to the guns being a mechanism to illustrate one point. Guns don’t kill people, humans do. In simplicity, guns are created things and in most cases they were created without any form of organic or invented intelligence. The problem is that people are trying seek laws against the guns and not the people using the guns.
