Read the Penn Jillette "This I Believe" essay posted to eLearning entitled "There is No God." You can also listen to the essay (it's about 3 minutes long) by visiting the site at http://thisibelieve.org/essay/34/
Â
Now submit an essay 500 words or less, using materials and readings and discussions from this course, in which you make an argument that Jillette is wrong---that a well-lived life requires a belief in a higher power, a First Cause, a Creator God, an objective reality outside ourselves who is not merely a creation of our own fancy.
Â
If you already believe in God, you need to something more than say "you believe" or "you were raised" or "The Bible says so."Â You need to use what we have learned a make a case that might convince Jillette or people inclined to believe what he writes. Tell me WHY he's wrong without relying completely on religious faith claims.Â
Â
And if you don't believe in God like Jillette, you still have to argue against him...making the best case you can using the ideas we have discussed in class. Pick a sentence, maybe, and attack his assumptions or ask how he can make that claim? Or test the claim from a natural law perspective, for example.Â
Â
Have some fun with this. There's no "right way" to write this essay. There are, however, better and worse ways to write it. The better you write it, the more fun I get to have too!
