- Evil vs. The Butterfly Effect"Gvanni 04:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)"
This is an article about Good vs. Evil. Bringing up the question "If there is an all powerful God then why doesn't this God stop evil?" This article also discusses the butterfly effect, which i find an interesting topic when it comes to good vs. evil that we have not discussed. This page also has other links to articles about good and evil.
- Women Priests-No Chance"Gvanni 04:18, 2 December 2009 (UTC)"
I thought this would be an interesting article for all to read considering our topic of discussion today. I know most of us would not mind if there were women priests, but here is an article from a man discussing why women have zero chance at becoming priests.
- John Locke's Theory of personal identity"Kwick 03:14, 11 November 2009 (UTC)"

This article give the three marks and talks about no-self which it refers to as "egolessness".
- Free Will Opinion clip "Kwick 03:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)"
This short clip connects the tree falling in the forest philosophy with science. I just really thought that was a thought provoking question that was asked and this video made me think harder about it.
- Movie on the tree falling in the forest "Kwick 03:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)"
This video is kind of set up as an interview but one guy does all of the talking and he connects science with free will and discusses how they can and cannot be related.
- Ship of Theseus "Kwick 03:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)"
This youtube video has funny animation(very creative) and explains the thoughts on the ship of theseus in more detail. I also thought this was a very thought provoking question, so I found this video helpful in thinking more about it.
- Good and Evil-"Kwick 10:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)"
This page is interesting because it gives the thoughts of each philosopher and their perspectives on good v. evil.
- Let's Stick to the Science"-Kwick 10:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)"
This is an article where Barret argues that he did not state that humans innately believe in God, but they have propensities to do so. Barret tries to keep his conspiracies straight. Grayling, a psychologist, has said some things that Barrett tries to clarify. This article is helpful because it really shows and affirms Barret's beliefs and what he is trying to tell people.

I found this NBC News Special very interesting as it discusses how Buddhism meshes and clashes with American culture.
- Platonism in Metaphysics --Abrew 02:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
This article from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy really helped me understand Platonic Metaphysics a little better. It uses some concrete examples that helped clarify a few questions I had about Platonism.
