Premise 1: Creation is reflective of a Creator. Premise 2: The state of the creation has no effect on whether or not the question of the existence of a God is valid. Premise 3: Likewise, the imperfections, etc of creation (in this case, humans) should and do not reflect the inherent qualities of the Creator. Objection: It would not make any sense for a perfect being to create something...
Overheard Kitchen Conversations:
“Isn’t it true that black people only eat chicken and pork because they are white meats?”
“WHY ARE YOU SO…SHIRTLESS?”

Argument Outline For Descartes Third Meditation
Premise One: The finite, human mind would never be able to conceive of an infinite being on it’s own; a simple being couldn’t conceive of something that much more complex than itself.
Premise Two: It is more logical to believe in an infinite, almight, omnipotent and omnipresent power rather than in our weakness and powerlessness because the idea of the infinite and powerful is more...
