The cosmological argument also failed because it never logically reasoned the creation of the universe. There are many great individuals who have spent a vast amount of time in studying the Bible. Great minds like Socrates, Plato, Paley, Aristotle, Augustine, Anselm, Descartes have made arguments for the existence of God.

- 132: Transcendentalism and A Belief In A "Higher Power"
- ... this question is similar to someone attempting to prove the existence of an invisible elephant. It is far easier to prove that the elephant does not exist than it is to prove that it does.

- 136: Plato's Republic
- ... thing one cannot do without; and thirdly, that this reluctance is reasonable, because the life of injustice is much the better life of the two--so people say.

- ... seldom provide enough cohesiveness to be analyzed in depth. The solution-at any end-might a dilemma. One cannot help but feel that the fall of Satan was brought about by an intellectually interesting temptation. Socrates believed that ignorance led to subversion, but Satan's curiosity and, to certain extent, jealousy, came about as a result of God's infinite and omnipotent being. Surely, one must feel horror at a God ...

- ... would not be anything new; more than a few countries have felt (and have rebelled against) the stranglehold of a king holding absolute power over them. Another problem with the philosopher king: which philosophy? A Socrates indoctrinated ruler would have different viewpoints from an existentialist philosopher king. Would people vote for different philosophies as well as their favorite king? There would be as many problems with the mechanics of a philosopher ...
