Does God Exist? C. S. Lewis

At this moment, the human civilization is falling apart. The shield that guards the safety of men is broken by wars and conflicts. The hearts of people are injured severely by hatred, inequality, and discrimination. Countries lump into anarchy as laws and orders fall apart. And day by day, promises have been broken so frequently that it becomes a norm, and the meanings of words fall into ashes as people progress on deception. The world is gradually transforming itself into a pure arena, where people disguise as hounds and serpents simultaneously. However, amidst this chaos, there stands supreme thing keeping the pieces of mankind’s civilization together—the Law of Nature.

The Pledge of Allegiance was taught to me at a very young age. Most children in the United States learn the Pledge in Kindergarten. As a child I never questioned the phrase “Under God”. Perhaps I did not question it because I was raised as a believer of God. Fortunately, with age, I have become more of a critical thinker. I have become more cultured and knowledgeable to the people who differ from me. Not every American citizen is a believer of God; there are various religions with different or multiple gods. Also many American citizens do not believe in God or any type of higher power. The phrase “Under God” in the Pledge is a current social issue being debated constantly. I am going to investigate both sides of this issue and determine if God should be mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance.

1. Because of man’s ignorance and curiosity, arguments for the existence of God have been made over the years. Basically, these arguments are divided into two large groups i.e. logical and metaphysical. Actually, these arguments seek to prove that the existence of a being or having faith with at least one attribute that only God could have is logically necessary.

I found that Lewis' argument for God’s omnipotence being limited to that which is possible intriguing, but if I may be bold not wholly biblical. Lewis’ argument is that God’s power is limited to that which is “intrinsically possible,” that Is things in which He has established as law. However, he does not to assume that miracles do not occur, for miracles could be described as God suspending the reality of His laws, not simultaneously acting in two opposing ways. For it is not as though God's “power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense.” Nonsense is precisely described by Lewis as an “intrinsic impossibly."An example of an intrinsic impossibility that Lewis explains is that, “God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it.” What he reckons from this statement is that one is saying nothing at all if what he is saying is

In the article, “The Question Of God,” the author Dr. Armand Nicholi, Jr writes about the thinking of Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis on the existence of God and about how they came to their approaches and beliefs. Sigmund Freud is a well-known psychiatrist who proclaimed himself an atheist.    C.S. Lewis was at one time an atheist and then changed his worldview and developed a belief in a higher power/God being. Freud uses a psychological approach and presents arguments that God does not exist.

Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon who believed for many years that when people explained their near death experiences it was just the hard wiring of the brain. Of course ,though, he had refined medical training. It wasn't until Alexander had caught a rare disease which caused him to fall into a coma and had a near death experience himself. Alexander talks about his journey towards the afterlife in his book which leads to many questions to everyone as to whether it really happened or if it was all just a hallucination. The paper talks about how he recounts what happened during his experience

The question of whether or not God exists has been asked by billions of people since the concept of religion emerged. Many people try to explain things such as hurricanes and tornadoes as “Acts of God” or even the existence of human beings and the world itself to be “created” by an almighty power. Others claim that the harm they inflict was demanded of them by their God. CS Lewis argues that through the comprehension of standards of good and bad, God’s existence is proven. However, Lewis’s defense for the existence of God is adequate because it fails to acknowledge the possibility for people to be good on their own, without the instruction of a supernatural entity.

Does God Exist? The concept of god is ambiguous and every person has a different take on it. “Does God Exist” is a huge question philosophers reason about and God’s existence has been an ongoing debate for centuries in the philosophical world. There are many arguments that take a stand on the existence of God but no claim can be proven one-hundred percent true.

Does God exist? This has been an important question for hundreds of years now. Many people have tried to prove God’s exists, and some have tried to prove that he does not exist. There is one man that has come up with a theory to prove his existence, that man is Thomas Aquinas. Thomas Aquinas has theories to prove God’s existence and attributes that God has to make him divine.

The video “Big Question-Does God Exist?” by Grenville Kent was eye opening in many ways. I have always known that God is the creator of everything and the He spoke them into existence. I have always viewed evolution to be quiet silly, but haven’t really known how to explain what I believe in a way that others would understand.

Most everyone’s aware of the phenomenon identified as an, “out-of-body experience.” I’m of the opinion they occur, but your agreement isn’t a requirement to enjoy this read. We’ll, in all probability, not discover definitive proof pro or con during our lives. Those who reveal personal experiences of this nature think they’ve had a genuine experience; to them there’s no doubt. I’ll not attempt to persuade you that a life altering event this significant is a gift from God. I trust it is and will assume this position from the start.

After spending three weeks on the concept of God existing, I have decided that there is no such thing as God. There were many points in this experience that my opinion almost changed. From Life of Pi to Thomas Aquinas’ essay to my conversation with Olivia, there were many obstacles that almost changed my opinion. However, I now feel as strongly as ever that there is no such thing as God. There is no higher power in our world. We control our world. There is no God that influences our world; it is just us.

Someone might object that God does not exist for the following reason. There is no God in this world because there is evil and injustice in this world. Frequently there are headlines on the news that appear to be about the latest tragedy that is occurring somewhere in the world. There are people who are impoverished and starving in one region of this planet while in another region there are people and corporations that have so much wealth they do not know what to do with it. A personal example of the grave injustices in this world is the death of my grandmother. I was only ten years old at the time but I already knew the effect and permanence

The existence of God has been in question for as long as mankind has existed and thought logically. Many questions have plagued the human mind in regards to God, and there have been many arguments drawn with the hopes of proving the existence of a supreme being whom we know as God. The “God” question has been presented to every individual at some point in their lives. It is a topic that will bring forth never-ending questions and an equal amount of attempted answers. Many philosophers have formulated different rationales when examining the topic of God, some of which include how the word itself should be defined, what his role is in human existence, whether or not he loves us, and ultimately, if he even exists at all. Mankind cannot

The question is that is it possible to prove the existence of God in a strictly scientific? Answer is incredibly straightforward that there is no individual in the world who could come back with a solid proof whether God exists or not. One of the primary difficulties is the lack of a general characterization of the existence or nonexistence of which is required to be proved. First of all, for the benefit of further narrative, I would like to give the most general definition of "God" as far as possible including all possible variations. Consider our world as a great computer stylish game or a social network. For such a system may well be the one who designed it, created, wrote and performs systemic organization (Everitt N.p.). If you doubt the presence of Facebook creator and administrator of this network, it will look at least strange.
