Philosophy originates from the Greek translation of this phrase.

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

These are the three divine attributes that are highlighted in the argument from evil.

Antony Flew accuses the believer in God as making too many of these - which can weaken a claim.

Two of three cosmological-type arguments St. Thomas Aquinas offers to prove God's existence.

This branch of philosophy deals with questions about knowledge. (What do you know?)
