Inductive Reasoning, Reasoning that begins with specific observations and moves toward a probable general conclusion. It is a posteriori and based on empirical evidence., A Posteriori, Knowledge based on experience or observation, verified or falsified using empirical evidence., Cosmological Argument, An inductive, a posteriori argument claiming that the existence of the universe requires a cause, ultimately leading to a First Cause (God)., Aquinas’ First Way (Motion), Everything in motion is moved by something else; an infinite regress is impossible; therefore, there must be an unmoved mover (God)., Aquinas’ Second Way (Causation), Nothing can cause itself; there cannot be an infinite chain of causes; therefore, there must be a first efficient cause (God)., Aquinas’ Third Way (Contingency), Everything in the universe is contingent; if everything were contingent, nothing would exist; therefore, there must be a necessary being (God)., Teleological Argument (Design Argument), An inductive argument claiming that the order and purpose in the world indicate design, pointing to a designer (God)., Anthropic Principle (Tennant), The universe appears fine‑tuned for human life; this suggests purposeful design rather than chance., Aesthetic Argument (Tennant), Human appreciation of beauty and art goes beyond survival needs, suggesting a designer who created a world with aesthetic value., Empirical Evidence, Information gained through observation or experience, forming the basis of inductive arguments., Infinite Regress, A criticism that Aquinas’ rejection of an infinite chain of causes is not necessarily justified., Fallacy of Composition (Hume), The error of assuming that what is true of the parts is true of the whole (e.g., every event has a cause → the universe must have a cause)., Problem of Analogy (Hume), Critique of the design argument: the world is not sufficiently like human-designed objects to justify the analogy., Epicurean Hypothesis, Given infinite time, order could arise by chance rather than design., Inductive Leap, The move from observed evidence to a broader conclusion—always probabilistic, never certain.
