I do not find the three arguments I analyzed satisfactory for the existence of God. The existence of God simply cannot be proven. Regardless of how strong a person’s faith is, or how many miracles they claim to have witnessed, God can only ever be a possibility. First, I will discuss why Pascal’s wager is not a satisfying argument for the existence of God. I will then examine C.D. Broad’s “Argument for the Existence of God”, and why it is also not a satisfying argument for the existence of God.
is the day you were born and the day you find out why you were born. There are all kinds of theories of how life is supposed to be. People believe all sorts of things of how life will be like. I feel like everyone in the world was put on this plant for a reason. We may not always know why we were put here but I think that is the goal in life to figure out why and be the best person you can be and to fulfill that goal. I think that the substance of like to believe and have faith in God. There is a
one that believes that there is only one God. Monotheists usually share the religion of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. I happen to share the religion of Christianity and believe that there is only one God. I’m going to prove that no other Gods exist except for one. For the atheist and the polytheist, I will show you why your belief is false, and why you should change your belief to a monotheistic belief. First, I want to start with the three reasons why I believe that there is only one God. My first
key questions like what is the relationship between faith and knowledge? Is faith in god justified? Why? How? In matters of faith and relationship with God, is the question of the existence of God even relevant? Why or Why not? I am going to answers these key questions in the upcoming paragraphs. I will briefly explain the argument of Pascal’s wager and the reasoning behind it. Is there a God? Should I believe in God? People think about this question everyday. Pascal is famous, among other things for
The Controversial Subject of God The topic of god is a very controversial subject that has been argued about ever since the beginning of mankind. Because God is so controversial, many battles have been fought to preserve one’s own beliefs. I myself, have my own beliefs on what I think god is and how god was created. Many theologians have different beliefs of who god is and why he exists. But the most common answer you will receive is, “God exists because he has to exist.” They would
Theory “If God does not exist, then everything is permitted,” in other words, if there turns out to be no God then nothing is morally wrong. Someone who would believe a statement such as this one would most likely be in agreement with the Divine Command Theory---the reason being that the main claim in this theory is, all that is morally right, is right because God commands it so. Therefore in order to believe in the Divine Command Theory, one would need to be a strong believer in God---and would
and why is it important? People believe faith is worth more to people then religion. The person may have the benefits of loving god and excepting him into that persons life without all the so called “work”. Many people believe that in order to accept God into the life of that person will need to have religion. But is that all wrong? People would rather use faith because they do not want to be apart of a religion. The mentality that people have is that all religions are the same this is why faith
of from the body, why didn’t it breathe anymore? It was then I realized, the body had fallen into eternal slumber never to awake again. Death looked and with its piercing eyes, it created an unquenchable void within my core. With every passing moment we proceed closer to death. Fear of death turned into a fire in my bosom that compelled me to start a journey for truth and meaning. And by facing death, by facing the void, I found life. Woman 1: Truth is God.

the different topics of God vs. Satan, and why God has not all the answers, and powers when making sure every human being should not face evil. Aquinas believed that Christians needed to view their basic beliefs in another way to make sense of their own faith when questioning all that God did for each individual. The real question to all this, which a lot of people even question today is “Why is their evil in the World?” Well unfortunately some believe their (omnipotent) God has all the answers and
with facts about why there is a God, but no matter how believable the facts are, I am still going to believe there is no such thing as a God. In the ethical inventory, one of the statements was what is right depends on what God says is right. We have now learned that this statement is the beliefs of people who follow the Divine Command Theory. According to this theory, you have to worship a God, since God determines what is ethically right and wrong. However, I do not believe in a God, so when I answered
