The Belief Of Evil And The Existence Of God

The Existence of God Throughout the years as the human species keeps learning about the world we live in, we are finding out that we are surrounded everywhere by evil. This seems to conflict with the belief of theism, one who believes in a God or Gods, especially a personal God who’s in control of the world. If there was an all-omnipotent, all-omniscient, and all-benevolent God, then he should have consummate knowledge that there’s evil in the world. Given that, if he knows there’s corruption

considers his basic beliefs. Descartes believes this to be an intricate part of his complete epistemological argument. Descartes skeptical arguments are not intended to be a denial of his basic beliefs. On the contrary, he uses these arguments to help prove one of his main theses, which is the existence of God. One of the main premises that Descartes uses in his proof for the existence of God comes from the evil demon argument, which he proposed, in the first meditation. It is this evil demon argument

Evil and miracles, can they both exist in our modern everyday life? Evil 's existence has no doubt to be present due to all the horrors we have heard about or witnessed. While as for miracles, the existence is constantly questioned if they exist and what classifies as a true miracle. These concepts battle with theism and cause a great uproar to the existence of a powerful, omnipotent, and omniscient being. The definition of evil is the absence of good while the definition of a miracle is an unexpected

“Good God” The English philosopher Stephen Law’s “The evil-god challenge” is a retort against the arguments raised in favour of the theistic belief that the world was created and is governed by an all knowing, supremely benevolent being. In order to refute the existence of the notion of a “good-god” as constructed in the arguments of theists, law has constructed his own hypothetical entity the “evil-god”. Law’s challenge stems from the logical and evidentiary problems that the concept of evil presents

The Cosmological argument can be simplified into three reasons that everything that begins to exist has a cause; the universe began to exist, therefore the universe

of religious beliefs and the analysis of the concepts in terms of which those beliefs are expressed. Philosophy is about thinking critically about religion in all of its aspects. Thinking critically about religious beliefs might indicate that they are flawed in a number of ways such as evidence that is inconsistent, contradictory, or insufficient to support the basic claims. The existence of god is one religious belief that had been debated for centuries. Contrasting religious beliefs such as Christianity

Biblical cosmogony is based on the provisions of Genesis chapter one. The basis of this myth is the fact that the universe and all its constituents are creations of a supreme being, in this case called God. The myth clashes with scientific views such as evolution theories because it suggests that God created everything by word of mouth and the work of his hands. The religious creation theory is the foundation of major spiritual convictions, which include Christianity, Judaic and Islam (Blumenthal 1)

Divine and the Existence of Evil There are many different religions of the world and religion is found in societies of the past and present. Many of the religions today have been practiced for years. I will focus on seven different religions in this paper and how they each express the nature of the divine and how each religion views and deals with the existence of evil. Nature of the divine refers to God or Gods and their presence. Some religions are monotheistic, believing in one God, some are polytheistic
