I'm not a big proponent of the God theory myself. I think that Augustine for example has something worthwhile with his "first cause" arguments, but don't follow him on the conclusion that this cause is the equivalent of the Christian God.

poorprincess Reviewed by poorprincess on . Philosophy Hey all. I really want to learn as much about philosophy I possibly can before I ever set foot in a college classroom...which is 3 years off for me...So, I was wondering, could anyone who is very knowledgeable on the subject teach me anything? Thanks much, Jake Rating: 5
