OCR RS Philosophy and Ethics A2

Hey I have a quick question, with the structure it's important to make a point then counter it then counter the counter. Well when countering does it have to be a counter from the same topic as the first point?

So for instance I just wrote an essay on aj ayer verification/religous language and one part I put a counter of - scientific laws are now meaningless as cant prove they are true by being everywhere to show gravity is everywhere. I then counter that with humes ideas of scientific/natural law being statistical conjunction and how we see things a lot but not actually make them true perhaps scientific laws are actually meaningless.

Would that work even though humes ideas are never brought up in the book relating to religous language?
Thanks

With life after death, an essay 'evaluate the claim that there can be no disembodied existence after death' the mark scheme states that 'Some may for example focus much of their assessment on the thorny issue of identity and what would ‘I’ need to be in order to have some kind of existence after death where I have no body but could still be recognised at least to myself as me.' I have no clue what that means is it like category mistake and descartes??? HELP

just noticed that Religious Experiences wasn't a question last year so there's a good chance that one will come up and for the ethics, sexual ethics hasn't been done since 2010 and conscience was last mentioned 2012.. Just a thought of what might come up

Is people who haven't got enough time just basically revising the ones that Bruno said that will come up in the exam?:

1. Critically assess A.J Ayer and Verificationism
2. "Self-authenticity" of religious experiences
3. Is monism more coherent than dualism?
4. "Miracles are not divine but just coincidences". Discuss.

What if non of these come up????!?!

Where did you even get these predictions from???

Had a horrible dream that there was two questions on Religious Language and two questions on Miracles!!!

for the ethics, sexual ethics hasn't been done since 2010 and conscience was last mentioned 2012.. Just a thought of what might come up

BrunoRussell got them from a website that the officials use. It's not going to be the exact questions but the topics are going to be around them. For example everyone's revising monism/dualism and Religious Language, etc.

These officials predicted the AS Ethics and Philosophy and got 3/4 right on both papers this year so people who haven't got time to revise everything are revising those 4 things... cause ya know... the exam IS tomorrow

I feel as though I should know who this ineffable Bruno Russell is? It will be interesting to see the similarities tomorrow

I still don't think that those questions will turn up tbh

So is it unlikely that Nature of God will come up?

He's like the Philosophy and Ethics guru of this thread. He made this EXCELLENT revision notes of A2 Philosophy... Haven't looked at nothing but it! Absolutely amazing! And yeah, I have a feeling RL and Dual/mon will come up tomorrow for sure!

Well I think a few people like 3 to 1 are saying it might come up but they are skeptical about it... I never did this topic at school.. even if I did by the sounds of it, it sounds horrendous!

Really? Why is this? I think something about Ayer and mon/dual will come up. My predictions are hot like fire too!

Last year for my English Lang exam, said that they would ask question about Grammar for children's language acquisition... The question was "explain how children use grammar"... this year for language I said I bet Accents will come up.. it came up and also for my lit exam said two poems would come up... it came up.... Also predicted for Ethics resit that Categorical Imperatives would come up... that came up too.. .

So I'm gonna have faith that my predictions and trust of the official ones do come up!
