Question: Write an essay on Philosophy? Answer: Introduction: For this report, the chosen type is traditional position paper. A position paper should be very well written. The type of traditional position paper contains logical argument about the chosen topic. However, for this purpose, the chosen topic is the concept of Aristotle and Aquinas' version of the God. This is related to the cosmological argument of the existence of God. The argument for the existence of God refers to the aspect of the cosmological argument. Concept of Aristotle: As discussed by (de Castro, Eduardo Viveiros), Aristotle always has tried to explain the existence of God on the earth. He has argued for the existence of the earth also. Aristotle has ruled out an infinite progression of causes. Therefore, there should be a first cause for this occurrence. This argument of eminent Greek philosopher Aristotle has given the support to the modern theory and science of the universe. This argument has led to the concept of BigBang theory of the birth of the earth as well as the existence of the people on this earth. On the Heavens' is considered as one of the most influential concepts of cosmology within the history of humanity of all ages. Aristotle has discussed the universal nature of the cosmos. He has also discussed some properties of individual bodies. Aristotle has argued that all bodies are made up of four elements; those are earth, water, fire and air. Arguments of Thomas Aquinas: As discussed by (Craig, William Lane, and James Porter Moreland), Thomas Aquinas has offered similar arguments while using concepts of first mover, the sustainer, first cause, source of harmony and cause of excellence. This philosopher has five proofs regarding the existence of God. The fist argument of this person is included within the aspect of observation. According to this philosopher, the basic idea of everything has a major cause. His First way' has several arguments, as several things change. On the other hand, Aquinas has separate arguments regarding the changes. The cosmological argument of this priest is based on the existence of universe and cosmos. Every existence of cosmos has the single cause. However, the cause refers to the infinite God. This ancient priest of Italy has made his arguments on the existence of human being on this earth. On the other hand (Cross, Philip Irwin) stated that the experiential basis of the cosmological argument is considered as the perception of the prior existence of the Universe. Every human being can perceive the experiment through the senses. This ancient priest has made its principle concepts upon the aspect of God and his power. According to this theorist, the God has created everything. God is the ultimate Creator of every human being as well as every living and non-living things on this earth. Argument of legendary Stephen Hawkins: However, Stephen Hawkins has made his contribution to the aspect of this particular cosmic argument on Earth and God. His book A Brief History of Time' has provided some cosmic argument about the existence of God and planet earth. This book is an important example of a cosmological argument of Stephen Hawkins (Blair, Matthew). In his quantum cosmology, Stephen Hawkins has argued that there is no place for a creator or God. This path-breaking scientists also argues that God does not exist in the physical or other world. According to the law of wave function, there is no any place for creator or god. Therefore, the concept of classical theism has become false in respect to the new concept of Stephen Hawkins (Loikkanen, Juuso). Argument from Contingency: Philosopher Samuel Clarke has set the second version of the argument of cosmology. This argument has been considered as a superior version of this cosmological argument. This argument can be called as the argument from contingency. Several philosophers within this field have considered the argument from contingency as superior thinking of cosmology. This argument has considered that human being should be necessary or contingent within this earth. There is a concept of self-existence also. This argument not only states about the God but also states about the existence of human being within the living earth (Romero, Gustavo E., and Daniela Prez). Conclusion: There are several arguments and counter arguments regarding the existence of God. The cosmological argument refers to the argument about God and the existence of the human being within this earth. Several theorists and philosophers have made their argument on the existence of earth, God and human being within the living earth. Several arguments have made clear conceptual framework upon this topic. Reference list: Blair, Matthew.Points and Spheres: Cosmological Innovation in Dante's Divine Comedy. Diss. 2015.
