Part I: The Foundation of Faith

Part I: The Foundation of Faith (Weeks 1–3) This section establishes the philosophical groundwork for belief in God. It explores three major arguments: the Cosmological Argument, which reasons from the universe's beginning to a Creator; the Teleological Argument, which points to the fine-tuning of the cosmos as evidence of a Designer; and the Moral Argument, which suggests that objective moral values and duties point to a Moral Lawgiver.

Together, these form a robust case that the universe is not a brute fact or random accident but the product of a transcendent, intelligent, personal, and moral Being—God. As recent scholarship (2025– 2026) continues to affirm, these arguments remain resilient amid advancing science, inviting us to see creation as a reflection of divine purpose.
