Reading Response #2 is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday, October 17th (for the Holy Cross class) or Thursday, October 18th (for the Tuesday/Thursday classes). The assignment is to write a 250- to 500-word essay in which you address the following:
In your own words, explain what you think the best version of the cosmological argument is. Then philosophically evaluate this version.As a reminder, we are discussing three different versions of the cosmological argument in class: (1) Thomas Aquinas's "first cause" version, (2) an abductive (inference to the best explanation) version, and (3) Richard Taylor's version. Aquinas's and Taylor's versions are in the textbook, but we're only talking about the abductive version in class.

Infinite loop road=nexus of the universe
I thought that was the corner of 1st & 1st.
what do you mean philosphically evaluate.
"What do you mean philosphically evaluate?"
I mean evaluate just like we do in class. Check the structure of the argument to see whether the premises, if true, provide enough support for the conclusion, and check each premise to see whether each is true.
