They are:The Cosmological Argument which goes like this:1.    Everything that begins to exist has a cause.2.    The universe began to exist.3.    Therefore, the universe has a cause.The Teleological Argument which goes like this:1.    Every design had a designer2.    The universe has highly complex design3.    Therefore, the universe had a designerThe moral Argument which goes like this:1.    Every law has a lawgiver2.    There is a moral law3.    Therefore, there is a moral lawgiverTHE PRIME REALITYThe attributes of God:1.    God must be uncaused2.    God must be timeless, spaceless and Immaterial3.    God must be powerful4.    God must be intelligent:5.    God must be personal.6.    God must be moral.WORLDVIEWS:1.    Atheism2.    Agnosticism3.    Pantheism4.    Panentheism5.    Deism6.    Polytheism7.    Monotheism CONCLUSION:Alright, that’s all from me today. Let’s recap. In today’s episode we learned that for any being to be God they must be timeless, spaceless, immaterial, personal, powerful, moral and infinite. We also consider the different world views and confirmed that monotheism is most compatible with these characteristics of God.Now, we know that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the major monotheistic religions, but they contradict each other in terms of their understanding if the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Christians believe that Jesus is God while Muslims and Jews deny this claim. Therefore, if Christianity is true then Judaism and Islam is false. FORECAST:In the next episode I will present the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament. Why? If the New Testament is reliable then we can consider Jesus’s claims to be God objectively. And if Jesus’ claims to be God is true then Christianity is true. And if Christianity is true then every other religion that contradicts Christianity is false.   Support the show
