My View On God 's God

Although atheists believe that, no one can disprove that God exists. The most effective method to debate the issue is to look at the evidence. Most cosmologists agree that the universe began about 13.7 billion years ago in an event known as, “The Big Bang”. Professor Hawking says, “Because there’s a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing spontaneously. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something instead of nothing; why the universe exists; why we exist. It’s necessary to invoke God to set the universe in motion,”(Hawking). Hawking says, “the universe exists because the universe needed to exist”(Hawking). Steven Weinberg, Nobel Prize winning physicist explains how the big bang looked. Steven being an atheist enlightens us with his account. Steven says, “In the beginning there was an explosion, and in three minutes, 98% of the matter there is or ever will be was produced. We had a universe,”(Weinberg). Experts in the span of 2,500 years agreed with Aristotle’s idea on the world developing from a steady-state universe.” “Being in a steady-state universe existing with no beginning and no end. The Bible disagrees with their theory,”(Aristotle). Belgian astronomer of the 1920s, Georges Lemaitre, a theist, said, “that the entire universe, jumping into existence in a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, out of nothingness in an unimaginably intense flash of light, is how

The question of God’s existence has been pondered by humans for centuries. There are an infinite number of different opinions, arguments, and ideas favoring for or against the idea of God. Personally, I strongly believe in God not only due to my religious affiliation, but also because of my own opinions, ideas, and experience. To begin with, the complexity of Earth and the life that has formed upon it cannot be based just on luck or chance. I believe that ultimately God, as a power, rather than a mystical being is the one created and controls the universe. Although the God and his authority are not entirely comprehensible by humans, it’s our faith as worshiper that eventually lead us to a greater understanding.

How does one go about answering the question “where was God before the universe was created?

My argument and ideas are based on parts of Thomas Aquinas and William Paley’s arguments on the existence of God. As a Christian, at some point in time you wonder or start to question religion. Does God exist? I feel as though this is a natural question people ask through their personal spiritual journeys. The existence of God is provided by the premises of a first mover, a first causer, the proof of possibility and necessity, and God being the designer of the universe, therefore God exists. The natural world must have had a maker. Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” I wonder if God made the universe, who made God? God is the transcendent personal cause of the universe, exists independently, there is no beginning. Therefore, nothing caused God.

The question of God’s existence has been an ongoing debate for centuries, however the answer cannot be determined for sure. Although there is more logical evidence that disproves the existence of God. Many arguments and theories have arisen from famous philosophers and scientists that take a position on the debate. People assume that the existence of evil and pain disproves the existence of God but the counterargument for this is that God is trying to challenge us. The teleological argument that states that there must be someone responsible for creating the universe since the world is so intricate and orderly, however this is derived from deductive reasoning and logic. Then there is the existence of the Big Bang theory where in which something

Does god exist? I have gone my entire life knowing the answer to that question. Sure, I have doubted that answer at times; but, I always end up reassuring myself that I am indeed not wrong. I am right. Perhaps I am just oblivious to the fact that I am very likely wrong. And that I have gone my life with how is best described by Kathryn Schulz in her book, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error, where she states, “A whole lot of us go through life assuming that we are basically right, basically all the time, about basically everything: about our political and intellectual convictions, our religious and moral beliefs, our assessment of other people, our memoires, our grasp of facts. As absurd as it sounds when we stop to think about, our steady state seems to be one of unconsciously assuming that we are very close to omniscient” (4). Or maybe I am right.

Theories like the big bang or God creating the universe are good ideas of how the universe came to be, but both have holes in them. If god created the universe, then who created god? If the Universe was just a big empty void, how is it that big bang can even happen? "If they use the expression "God exists" at all, they understand it as referring obliquely to the speakers own feelings..." (pg 107). Same could be said to which theory a person chooses to believe

Skeptics often attempt to undermine Christianity with the argument, "If God created the universe, then who created God?" This question appears to successfully disprove the existence of God, but under further scrutiny, the flaw in the argument becomes clear.

There is a lot of evidence for God. Just three of them are the cause and effect argument, the design argument, and the moral argument. The cause and effect argument explains that everything that has an effect has a cause. The design argument is about how every design has a designer. The moral argument explains how the morals we have required a Moral Lawgiver. Many people often state that there is no evidence for God so God does not exist, but if he or she looks at these three arguments, the cause and effect argument, the design argument, and the moral argument, they will be able to see just some of the evidence there is for God.

I see God working through the history of mankind and God working throughout the history of Israel as well. I believe one can see that God is at work in the church as well. He is working to fulfill God 's plans that has been in place before the foundation of the world. God’s plan as the Apostle Paul says is to redeem his people in Ephesians 1:6-7. The Apostle Paul said, “to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, (Ephesians 1:6‭-‬7 ESV). It is Genesis chapter 3 that we see the broken state of mankind, but God offers grace to mankind when He tells Eve her child (Jesus) would crush the serpent (Satan).‬

My favorite argument for the existence of God is Thomas Aquinas’ fourth cosmological argument, which is based on our conviction that things can be quantified. If something can be sweet-sweeter-sweetest or big-bigger-biggest, there must be an absolute maximum by which to set the standard to judge all the rest. (Highfield, 2008). I’ve always felt that nothing comes from nothing. Everything has to have come from something. If our world is the happenstance of some cosmic collision, where did the colliding matters come from? There must be a Creator who is greater than creation, i.e. God, “the uncreated creator of the world.” (Highfield, 2008, p. 94). Like Pascal, I’ve always felt it better to believe in God’s existence and risk only the loss of

Does God exist? That is the question that so many scholars, peasants, governments, and individuals have been trying to answer from the beginning of human civilization to the present and beyond. Every group in the history of mankind, from Taiwan to Jamaica, from the top of Russia to the bottom of Chile, has said yes to a form of divinity. Their religions have ranged from one God to one million Gods to no God and these religions have defined culture, tradition, lifestyle, and the society of the place; they have ruled nations and defined nations, inspired nations and controlled nations. Not every person has been a believer but every culture has had a belief. Yet somehow, despite this vast evidence that there must be something or else

a) Christians believe many different things about God’s nature; due to the huge spectrum of Christians that there are. However, as a general rule they perceive God as being one of the following four things:

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
