Does God exist? What difference would God’s existence or non-existence make for our nature as human beings? This course will focus on these two questions. In the first part of the course, we will examine arguments for and against the existence of God. In particular, we will look at the cosmological argument, the ontological argument, the argument from evil, and the problem of divine hiddenness. In the second part of the course, we will ask what implications God’s existence or non-existence might have for human nature. For example, what does the existence of the Judeo-Christian God entail about the metaphysics of human nature? Are we souls, physical organisms, or something else? And, if God does not exist, are we human being still bound by objective moral duties? Could our lives have meaning, even if there is no God?
