apparently the Q1 on the philosophy AS resit was on the cosmological argument not god as the creator :-(

Definitely not a question on Cosmological Argument. It was about the biblical concept of God as a Creator and Craftsman.

What would you talk about in the essay 'explain the difference between absolute and relative morality' for 25 marks? I feel like I don't have enough to say about it to attempt an essay like that, does anyone know what I should talk about?

For applied ethics embryo research might come up and euthanasia, also relative morality and moral absolutism.

If you get a 25 marker on "explain the approach of the religion you have studied in response to the issues of embryo research", could you make the essay solely about a natural law approach? It seems weird to do that if hypothetically there were to be another 25 marker just on natural law. I haven't covered Christian ethics.

Even though the content is easier than Philosophy of Religion (except Kant) I still feel I will do worse in this exam than the other.

Anyway Good Luck all
