William Lane Craig是美國當代著名基督教apologist 他擁有哲學與神學雙博士學位
他主持的網站: http://www.reasonablefaith.org/
Wikipedia的主題頁: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lane_Craig
他的網站主旨是"Defending Biblical Christianity" 所以應該無傾向任何派別(?)
(更正: 感謝kalestorm提示 後來發現Craig自述不太滿意天主教對Justification的見解)
他在網站上公布了5個影片各介紹1個應該相信神存在的論證
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3gdeV4Rk9EfL-NyraEGXXwSjDNeMaRoX
根據影片內容並根據在ReasonableFaith.org的google搜尋結果
這5個論證可以概述如下
(但是這可能有斷章取義之嫌 Craig應該已經在網路發表更詳盡的解釋了)
Cosmological Argument
1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause
Moral Argument
1. If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist.
2. Objective moral values do exist.
3. Therefore, God exists.
Contingency Argument
1. Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the
necessity of its nature, or in an external cause.
2. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is
God.
3. The universe exists.
4. Therefore, the universe has an explanation of its existence.
5. Therefore, the explanation of the universe’s existence is God.
Fine-Tuning Argument
1. The fine-tuning of the universe is due to either law, chance, or design.
2. The fine-tuning is not due to law or chance.
3. Therefore, the fine-tuning is due to design.
Ontological Argument
1. It is possible that a Maximally Great Being exists.
2. If it is possible that a Maximally Great Being exists, then a Maximally
Great Being exists in some possible world.
3. If a Maximally Great Being exists in some possible world, then it exists
in every possible world.
4. If a Maximally Great Being exists in every possible world, then it exists
in the actual world.
5. If a Maximally Great Being exists in the actual world, then a Maximally
Great Being exists.
6. Therefore, a Maximally Great Being exists.
我還在消化這些論證 不過對批判思考不太敏銳的我來說目前它們看來都有道理
所以歡迎大家在板上提出質疑 Craig的網站也有發問的管道
接著我還要讀一下Problem of Evil
看看這主題是否能提供應該相信神不存在的論證
