AQA Religious Studies - RS11

I was seriously considering doing that also...im nt too fond of near death experiences/mysticism....however im not too good with explaining wat a priori/posterior argument is and how it links to the ontological and cosmological arguments...and what Anselm says about faith and reason :s-smilie:

i've seen that question in many past past papers.
if anyone has any notes or is willing to explain any of these things to me I will appreciate it :smile:

i like the evil stuff too thats nice...i don't like evil, but u get what i mean lol:P.....

Hehe. I find the faith and reason thing a bit hard to write a whole essay on. I just don't think I have enough time to revise mysticism and NDEs and I haven't even learnt that thoroughly enough. :s-smilie:

All I know is the ontological argument is an a priori argument and the cosmological is an a posteriori argument.

what do you know about faith and reasonn please??

Reply 66

I've not started revising for it at all yet so I am sure you can fit it in. You can usually avoid a topic if you want to but it is a risk incase the other questions are beasts.

you will be able to get it done :smile:

i'm sure you've done more than me and i'm still planning on doing it somehoww? :s-smilie:

1 (a) Outline the ontological argument as presented by Anselm, and explain why this argument
is considered a proof’of the claim God exists’. (20 marks)
(b) Explain what this argument shows about the relationship between reason and faith, and
assess the view that this argument is useless for the non-believer and pointless for the
believer.

:frown:

i can do the first part of 1 (a) but not the second part of it
and i cant do (b) at all

mann this is badd :frown:

I am doing Rel Ex but I agree. If we had been given the option, I'd have done life after death - it looks so much more interesting.

i don't really think they can mixed question up together...they haven't done so in the past...they can't they have to ask one question on each thing...

Be warned though, I've looked at the past papers and unlike some of the other modules the questions are harder to predict. For example, on RS08 there is always a question on signs, a question on discourses and a question on the passion/resurrection narratives. But, for this one I've seen papers with two questions on different aspects of the same topic which ensures you cannot avoid it.

If you have the time, I think it is worth going over everything.

Really? I looked through them and it seemed the most clear cut to me- literally question 1-existence of God, question 2-problem of evil, question 3-mysticism/NDEs 2004-2007.

Like you say though- still best to go over everything if you have time anyway just in case a beast of a question comes up.

I'm ignoring NDEs myself though. :redface:

Sorry. It was the format we were given them. I've just looked on the website and of course, you are right. Oh well. Things are better than I thought. =D
