Two years ago, I relaunched Ho Kai Paulos and started a new and pretty large project, "God from the Ground Up". Slowly, we've worked through some basic terms and arguments for the existence of God--through Natural Theology.

Let's recap what we've already covered. Below, I've listed the main topics, with any follow-up posts linked underneath:

Terminology

• Subjective & Objective
• Objectivity Redux
• Strange Notions hosts "Tough Questions about Objective Morality"
• Absolute & Relative
• Putting it together
• Proof
• What a Proof Isn't
• What a Proof Is
• Probable Proofs
• You Can't Prove That 
• Natural Theology

• The Argument from Desire
• The Teleological Argument
• The Contingency Argument
• So Many Names
• The Argument from Movement
• The Argument from the Beginning of Existence
• The Argument from Present Existence
• The Argument from Goodness
• Cosmological Arguments
• Modern Physics
• Additional Links
• The Ontological Argument
• The Moral Argument
• Objective Moral Values
• Technical Stuff
• The Argument from Aesthetics
• The Argument from Common Consent

1. I'm finishing development of a MOOC (Massively-Open Online Course) on Natural Theology that will launch in a few weeks. It's free to attend, requires no textbook, and will cover the terminology and arguments you've read in the blog so far.


2. Next in this "God from the Ground Up" project, we'll work on broadening what we know about God. So far, natural theology gives us a shallow picture of God. He is a first mover of things, the lawgiver, the fine-tuner of the universe. That really doesn't tell us that much about God, and it certainly doesn't give us the full picture of God as Christians know Him.  We'll pick up with God's attributes and build up from that groundwork.
