OCR AS Philosophy of Religion

I was so happy when I saw the theodices I almost made an outburst! I did the question on Descartes' Ontological argument, but I think I fluffed it up. Talked a lot about Anselm and... Yeah, not good. Hopefully I made up for it in the part B.

I did the same questions! I thought the questions for this exam were horrible I mumbled about Anselm also jus because tbh how can ou write a 25 mark question on Descartes alone??

The theodices were a saviour but I still would have preferred Anselm Plato or Aristotle or cosmo or teo or basically anything else but I am glad at least they were I there.

I was gonna choose the Intelligent design question but I just couldn't remember the difference between that and the teleological argument is there even a difference or are they the same thing? idek lol

oh my god you're joking!? Oh I'm so annoyed now! I could have smashed that question I just thought that their was a difference

So did I at the start, just lucky that I took 5 minutes at the start to check what all the questions actually meant. You probably smashed the theodicy question, it'll be fine !

Oh I dunno I was having trouble remembering the Augustinian theodicy, paleys argument is so much easier that that stupid Descartes oh my god I'm done

Yeah, I was drawn towards Descartes but decided to stick with the Intelligent Design question.

How did you feel about the part B for the theodicies question ? Who did you talk about ? I used Mill, Augustine and Freud to debate the part B.

Intelligent Design is a large part of the teleological argument, they just phrased it differently so they're not repeating a question. Basically, the question was 'Explain William Paley's teleological argument'.

I avoid the Descartes question for the exact reason! I agree with you about the theodicies, what an awesome question !

I did the theodicies question (thank you OCR) and the one about 'creatio ex nihilo'... so glad it's all over now! Yay!

What did you put for creatio ex nihilo?

Intelligent design is different from the teleological argument - it's been applied post-evolutionary theory as a combat, where Paley's argument is argument for an 'intelligent designer'. It's not quite the same, 'intelligent design' implies God has a plan in evolution.

Oh ****.

The question was fairly ambiguous, do you reckon I'd still get the marks for talking about Paley's teleological argument in relation to the concept of Intelligent Design?

either I smashed it or did terrible
normally there's no inbeteeen for Phil+ethics

seems like I'm with the majority on ethic who picked 1+4. lol at the examiners if they think I'm doing an applied question when there's theory only questions . I winged the Descartes question, never expected him to come up yet still managed to write a fair bit about him, I surprised myself. the theodicy questions were a bit wierd I never anticipated writing both of them

for the Kant question did everyone basically just write his whole theory and just use the word duty a lot to make it sound like you're answering the question?
and also, on the util question, was it all about act and rule utilitarianism? I didn't mention the differences between mill and bentham too much
