This resource contains all lessons for ‘arguments for God’s existence’ (and the Problem of Evil) as part of the ‘Metaphysics of God’ unit under AQA’s A-Level Philosophy course. Relevant for either the A-Level, these resources summarise each respective argument/theory, alongside their critiques and any relevant defences. Exam questions are also included routinely.

Unit contains:

  • Ontological Arguments for God’s existence (Anselm, Descartes and Malcolm)
  • Issues with the ontological arguments (Gaunilo, Aquinas, Hick and Empiricist criticisms)
  • Teleological Arguments for God’s existence (Aquinas, Hume, Paley and Swinburne)
  • Issues with the teleological arguments (Hume’s critiques and evolution)
  • Cosmological Arguments for God’s existence (Al-Ghazali, Aquinas, Descartes and Leibniz)
  • Issues with the cosmological arguments (contradiction, the Cartesian Circle, the possibility of an infinite series, the fallacy of composition and why stop at God?)
  • The problem of evil and responses to this

Whilst this contains all relevant theoretical materials, and poses questions to probe understanding, please use the approved AQA textbook for relevant activities.

Note: any extra materials/resources or videos used herewithin are not owned by me, and I take no credit for these. Please refer to their URL links for the original designer/creator.
