I have uploaded the group poster projects from both classes. Since we haven't had eneough time to present them all, go to the Class Projects page to look at the gallery. Click on each poster to enlarge it. Once it's bigger, you can click on the "Next" or "Previous" arrows to move around the gallery. Take a look at each one in depth and write about the following:

- Tell which poster attracted you the most.
- Discuss the bible quote, the illustration, and any connections it makes with you.
- Watch your spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Proofread before you post, but if you notice an error, fix it in your next post.

This is due Tuesday at midnight.

Happy Weekend!

This post comes late since the Weebly site was down on Thursday, but  we discussed how God remains a mystery to us. Faith can answer many questions that science can't, but we must also remember that we cannot answer everything about God. We have to remember that he is and always will be a mystery. A mystery is defined as something that cannot be understood or explained. Remember, just because He is a mystery doesn't mean He doesn't exist! All sorts of things are mysteries, but that doesn't mean they didn't happen.


As requested: The Atheist Quote/ Joke. Enjoy!

Wow, class was wonderful today! You got your quizzes back (great job!) and we began presenting our awesome projects! So far, so good!

Does anyone understand this cartoon?

Homework- Don't forget to answer the discussion question by midnight tomorrow. Have a great night!

Today in class, we completed our group posters representing each of the five proofs. Great job!!! We also took our quiz on the five proofs.

Homework- Watch the videos below to further understand the five proofs. They sound boring at the beginning, but they are super short and totally cool! They are only on Motion, Causation, and Contingency (Possibility).

Select a proof video and discuss an element about it that helped you to understand the proof just a bit more! Due Wednesday at midnight.

God rocks!

Alright! We finally finished our second lesson! We had some GREAT discussions and new ways of understand God's existence. Thank you for enlightening me! I love learning from my students, too!

Today we completed all five proofs of God's existence. We learned:

Proof 3- Motion- The world is full of motion (tides, planet's  orbit, etc.) Obviously, nothing can just move by itself! Therefore, there must be a Mover.... God needed to exist in order for anything to move at all!

Proof 4- Possibility- Ahhhh, the hard one to understand. Let's make it simple: Every thing that exists in this world has contingent existence, meaning it either could or could not have existed prior to it actually coming into existence (are you still with me, people?).  Without God (who has necessary contingency- meaning it is necessary for Him to exist before other things are created) NOTHING could exist! There is no way to explain how anything was here, unless something was already in existence prior to it. 

Proof 5- Forms or Degrees of Goodness- God is the highest degree of perfection, truth, morality, beauty, and goodness of all things and qualities. How do we know how to rate things as evil or good; right or wrong; true or false? There must be a standard by which we measure all these things. Therefore, there has to be an ULTIMATE right, truth, beauty, etc. Without having a perfect God, we would not know the difference among all these elements. God is that measuring tool.

Today's classwork involved heavy notes and discussion. I introduced your poster project. I have uploaded it here for your downloading enjoyment in case you lost your copy. See the download link below. If you are going to be absent on Friday or Monday, please do this assignment on your own on computer paper. Your group needs you BOTH days!

We will present each one.

HW- Study for Monday's quiz on the five proofs. Know definitions, titles, and examples of each. Breathe, it'll be easy to grasp. It's 10 questions.
