There have been debates whether God is exist since the beginning of time. Many people claim many different things. There say there are three models of ultimate reality: Materialism, Pantheism, Transcendence. Transcendence is the only Ultimate Reality. Transcendence is that there is a perfect being (God). He created the universe. He is not the universe. In Christianity we believe we die physically and when Jesus Christ returns we will be resurrected and join Him and God in the perfect Heaven. God has given us the Bible so that we know right from wrong.
Evidence and Logical Support for Your Claim
Scientist have actually proved the existence of a higher being but have ignored that claim. This was proven in the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

It was wound up and is constantly winding down ultimately to or demise. The second law of thermodynamics is before us in a form of a big question. Who wound up the universe? The only plausible answer is God.
The theory of evolution has been debunked. Evolutionist say that our closest relatives are apes with blood precipitation. But by that standard a woman’s breast milk is so comparable to a donkey. Making it our closet relative. Our cholesterol is closet to a garter snake making him our closets relative. Even more so our tear enzyme chemistry makes our closest relative a chicken. There have been other blood chemistry test showing our closest relative is a butter bean. Therefore the theory that we have evolved was debunked. The goodness of God can be seen and understood in everything. The loving kindness of God gave us a way to be forgive of our sins and have eternal life with him. John 3:16 say “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son that so whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have ever lasting life.” God does not deny the existence of atheist. God says in Psalms 14:1, “The fool hath said I his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth

He was supposable a sorcerer for Satan. But we all know that Jesus did miracles. Jesus took away Saul’s sight in Acts 9:8 “So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he could see nothing.” He later gave back his site through a man named. In Acts 9:17-18 Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized. Jesus could not have been fake. He did so many miracles and even exorcised demon-possessed people. He brought Lazarus back from the dead. In John 11:41-44 it says “So the stone was moved away from the entrance of the tomb. Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me. I’ve known that you always hear me. However, I’ve said this so that the crowd standing around me will believe that you sent me.” After Jesus had said this, he shouted as loudly as he could, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out. Strips of cloth were wound around his feet and hands, and his face was wrapped with a handkerchief. Jesus told them, “Free Lazarus, and let him
The conclusion is there is God. A theoretical proof for the existence of God, then, is only intended to mediate a reflexive awareness of the fact that man always and inevitably has to do with God in his intellectual and spiritual existence, whether he reflects upon it or not, and whether her freely accepts it or not (Sabourin, 1986, p. 32). It is what you believe. For believers, God is the explanation of why there is anything at all: why there is intelligibility, why there is freedom (Brown, 2012, p. 4). You desire to believe in God; you want that in your life. It is probably hard for some people not to believe in God. They may have had disappointments in life, tragedy, or not been taught about God. I think so many people have doubts
I personally believe there is a God, a spiritual being that is all around us and watching over everyone. As the bible states “for the Lord your God is Gods of gods and the Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes” (Deuteronomy 10:17 NIV). Furthermore, with my personal believes the world around us was created by God. For instance, the bible informs readers that “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (Genesis 1:1, NIV). Moreover, although I believe there is good, evil still continues to exist around us. That we must fight against through prayer and protecting the innocent who can’t help themselves. Lastly, the prime reality relates differently to everyone and the nature of the world around us.
The real is the rational, and the rational is the real. In philosophical discussion, no statement is, perhaps, more important or more controversial. Yet, this is the very position that I advocate within this paper. The equation of the rational with the real is at the heart of the argument I here consider, that being the ontological argument for the existence of God.
In order to try and prove omnipotence, I believe you need to have multiple examples with explanations of how God could obtain them. Also, I believe that you could need some type of facts showing that God can do unimaginable tasks. Lastly, you should exsplain both points of view in order to show that you understand both aspects and to give others all the information in order to make their own informative decision. If you use these aspects I believe Mavrodes and Frankfurt would have more individuals convinced that God is omnipotent.
Some people believe in higher power of different names, and other do not. This then creates an argument between what is created and real by the creation of God. For those who do not believe in a higher power struggle with determining what scientific information makes something nonexistence or existence. This major point already finds some fault in his three foundations of determining a belief. For example, logic and what makes sense to why it is existence and what determines the existence of an person. Those foundations do not specifically acknowledge if it is something that can be determined regardless of one's religious
To atheists, God may be a fiction that some people (Christians etc.) choose to hide behind when they are trying to find their own motivation to behave well. ‘The Big Questions: God’ by Mark Vernon compares this childish ploy of believers to a parent who ‘bribes their child with a promise of jam tomorrow’ (Page 177, ‘Can we be good without God?’) If you see an elderly lady is struggling to carry her shopping bags and know that the RIGHT thing to do is to help her, this is not because a bearded man in the sky has told you to do so but because of the feeling of human sympathy and because your conscientiousness is so desirable and admirable because you tell yourself to be helpful and a good human. But why be good without God? Because they can. Humans are boiling with many different emotions and may strike out if angry, jealous or upset but once that heat has died down aren’t they much more reasonable and back to being sincere? Mathew Legge, a theoretical atheist, reasons that right and wrong choices come from upbringing and personal experiences; something that seems right to me can be completely wrong to someone
There are always in-explainable and seemingly impossible events or “miracles” that occur and if there is no God how else could you explain them. Things don’t just happen by chance. For example, scientists tried to analyze the crossing of the red sea in Exodus 14. They say that “a drop in water level caused by wind stress acting on the surface of a body of water for an extended period of time could have been the
Argument for the existence of god have been debated for thousands of years they have been proposed philosophers, scientists and regular individuals and almost every argument has been proposed. The root concept of many philosopher for the existence of god is that he is a prime mover or ultimate creator. Whether it is upholding these values or trying to prove them wrong there has been one universal truth thus far there is an existence that has shaped and influence all the action and beliefs that humans have made for thousands of years.
God exists, and there are four main arguments to prove it. The four arguments are mind, causal, design, and moral. You cannot trust your own thinking if everything just happened by chance. Something caused everything to happen. For the world to have such a marvelous design there must be a designer. All cultures have a moral code, so there has to be a moral giver. He also reveals Himself through the Bible which makes it completely reasonable to believe He exists and is alive. When I was in sixth grade, I was sick and was tired of it. I turned to the back of my Bible and read the passages that were listed in the back under what to read when you are sick. As soon I finished reading, I was no longer sick. We are aware that He is our Creator, our
If I was asked what evidence I had for God's existence, I would first start by explaining the four levels of happiness. Level One is laetus, which is a temporary pleasure from things such as food or technology. Felix is Level Two. This is happiness from self esteem or personal achievement which, eventually, will lead us to an unsatisfied life. Beatus is sacrificing our own life to help others and make a difference. Most importantly, sublimitas is the ultimate happiness which can only be reached beyond our world. This leads to the five transcendent desires: unconditional and perfect love, justice, beauty, truth, and home. These are things we can never perfectly experience on earth. However, for every desire we have, there is a fulfillment. What
First of all, I am an atheist. Almost all religions deny the science that I am spending my life studying. They make claims pulling in the opposite direction of mankind’s empirical evidence of the way the laws of the universe function, and furthermore, these religions do not give any satisfactory evidence of their own for their truthfulness. I found every last one of the “proofs” presented in my philosophy 1000 class to be nothing more than thought exercises that fell short of good logic and fell even further from being what I would call proof for the existence of any god, much less a specific one with an entire mythology attached to it. If a valid proof for God existed, everyone would believe in God. There would be no need for faith; belief
The idea by atheists claiming that since evil exists God does not exist is impossible. This is because they know the meaning of the word God and since it means “perfect”, the idea of his non-existence will imply his imperfection thus making this idea absurd. God’s non-existence is obviously false just like the idea of having a five-sided rectangle. The confusion with atheists is thinking that God does not exist, which would make us able to imagine him being better than he actually is; making us imagine him existing and we would clearly like a God who exists rather than the one who does
The problem of evil sure poses a challenge in believing in a loving God. One who argues for the existence of God brings up the concept that good cannot exist without evil. This dichotomy would be meaningless if everything was considered “good.” As human beings, we naturally compare, and the “not so good” would then be considered evil. It’s hard to say whether good can truly exist without evil, because humans' conceptions of either word are subjective.
Throughout time, the question has always arose concerning the existence of God or some type of supernatural being who created the Universe. There are many arguments and explanations that explain if God truly does exist. One such explanation is the Teleological Argument, which bases its explanation of the existence of God on the design and purpose of known things. For instance, we know that there are trees and plants, and that they need sunlight and water in order to grow. Those trees and plants grow from the ground, which is part of the earth. The earth is part of the universe and God had created the universe hence God does exist. The universe works all too perfect for it to have been created in a spontaneous explosion, in it
Watching the stars, knowing the tremendousness of the universe, watching the miracles of nature, watching the wonder of a nightfall, all point to a Maker God. In the event that these were not adequate, there is likewise evidence inside of us of the presence of God.
