An exploration of the philosophical questions associated with the kinds of change found in natural entities, with a focus of this general account for human nature and the cause of nature itself. Foundational concepts like causality, change will be studied in relation to Metaphysics and the Sciences of Nature. Natural Theology will help to explore the Knowability of God's Existence and the Rational approaches employed in the History of philosophy especially the Anthropological and Cosmological and Ontological arguments advanced by Christian Philosophers as Thomas Aquinas and Anselm of Canterbury. While focusing on the Analogical knowledge of God though affirmation, through negation and through eminence it will also study the attributes of God, God's Concurrence and Providence in relations to all creatures especially Human beings and the Problem of Evil.
