Title: Theistic Worldview and the Rejection of Deism Introduction The concept of deism posits that God created the universe but has since ceased any active involvement in its operation. This notion is frequently employed to explain divine providence. However, this viewpoint overlooks the necessity for a more direct and intentional act of creation, with pride often driving individuals to assert their intellectual autonomy while rejecting the idea of a personal and intentional creator....
The Insufficiency of Emergence: The Need for a Creator in the Complexity of Biological Systems Introduction The concept of emergence has been widely used by scientists to explain how complex structures and behaviors can arise from simple components through interactions. While it offers an intriguing perspective on the origin of life and the development of intricate biological systems, this article argues that emergence alone is insufficient to account for the complexity and specificity observed in nature....
Title: The Case for Non-Epiphenomenalism: A Defense of the Non-Physical Nature of Consciousness Introduction: The debate between epiphenomenalism and non-epiphenomenalism has long been at the heart of discussions about consciousness. While the former posits that mental events are merely byproducts of physical brain processes without any causal influence, the latter contends that our minds possess a genuine agency that transcends mere brain activity. This article will argue against epiphenomenalism and in favor of non-epiphenomenalism as it recognizes the unique nature of consciousness, which is more consistent with the existence of a divine creator....
Title: The Limits of Eternalism: A Case for Divine Creation in Understanding Reality Introduction Eternalism, as a philosophical concept, posits that all moments in time exist simultaneously, akin to points on a spatial grid. This notion has sparked various debates regarding the nature of time and the universe itself. However, proponents of eternalism often overlook a crucial aspect: the need for a creator who intentionally brought time and the universe into existence....
Title: Theistic Worldview: A Logical Perspective on Existentialism’s Shortcomings Introduction Existentialism, a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual freedom and choice, suggests that human beings must create their own meaning and purpose in life. However, this concept falls short of providing a comprehensive and coherent explanation for the nature of human experience. Moreover, it often stems from pride, as individuals assert their independence and reject the idea of a divine creator. This article will explore the limitations of existentialism, drawing on philosophical concepts, empirical evidence, and rational reasoning to support a theistic worldview....
The Compatibility of Free Will with Divine Creation: Embracing Moral Agency Introduction In philosophical debates, the concept of free will often appears incompatible with the notion of a divine creator. Critics argue that if God is omniscient and omnipotent, then human decisions must be predetermined by divine knowledge or intervention, undermining any illusion of autonomy. This perspective, however, overlooks the complexity of human decision-making processes and the central role of moral agency in shaping our behavior....
Humanism: A Comprehensive Evaluation Introduction Humanism is an ideology that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, asserting that human interests are central to our understanding of existence. Proponents argue that humans have no need for divine guidance or intervention in their lives, maintaining that human reason and logic should be the ultimate authority in decision-making processes. Despite its popularity among many thinkers today, this perspective fails to adequately address several fundamental aspects of human nature....
Title: The Limitations of Hylozoism: Embracing a Theistic Perspective on Consciousness Introduction The concept of hylozoism, which posits that matter is inherently alive and conscious, has gained traction in recent years as an alternative approach to understanding the nature of consciousness. However, this idea overlooks the necessity for a non-physical aspect of human nature that points towards a divine creator rather than a purely naturalistic explanation. This article aims to critically examine hylozoism from both philosophical and empirical perspectives and argue for a theistic worldview as a more coherent and logical framework for understanding consciousness....
Title: The Argument for a Theistic Worldview in Light of Neutralism’s Limitations Introduction The debate between theists and atheists has been ongoing throughout human history. While some argue that a personal creator or higher power is necessary to explain the complexity and specificity of the universe, others propose neutralism as an alternative explanation. This article aims to address the limitations of neutralism by presenting well-reasoned arguments from philosophical concepts, empirical evidence, and rational reasoning in support of a theistic worldview....
