“disobedient”. To many, “believing in God” is the only way to live, the reason for the way everything is, and it’s the meaning to life. To others, God, is just a popular view whose existence cannot be proven. While both Atheist and Agnostics agree on the questioning of God’s existence, they disagree on the reasoning of why thing are the way they are. Agnostics believe in a higher power while Atheists believe in strictly science. Both points of views made me question if science is really the only explanation
attempted to answer questions such as Who are we?, Where are we?, How did we get here? Many of those questions were driven by their instinct to survive, interaction with the nature around, fear of the known and unknown threatening their existence and found solace in God. God is necessary for human existence. What is God? God is not some mystical being that is only accessible through religion, but rather a concept essential for existence. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary the God is a spirit or being
seemingly unanswerable question arises. The question being if Graham believes this, the alien attack, is the end of the world. This followed by Graham giving a short monologue in which he asks Merrill, “Are you the kind of person who sees signs and sees miracles?” This question pertains to the various beliefs of many individuals about whether there is an overlooking figure, possibly God, that is responsible for all actions. It is a very relevant and important question if you consider the fact
and their consequences; and that made all the difference in their trajectory. What differentiated their suffering was the simple fact of being able to accept their humanity. In a world controlled by gods and goddesses, humans, regardless of their efforts, cannot earn, or even justify their existence. Job understood and submitted himself to that fact, while Gilgamesh resisted it. How often the words “I’m only human” are used are used to describe someone’s lack of control or ability? That is because
Descartes and Meditations There are many things that have occurred in my life that was questionable. Questionable in a way that doesn't make sense to why of if they even occurred. I often wonder what is the porpoise of my existence or that of anyone else's. A better question would be if I do even exist. There must be some thing out there that can explain everything, but I do not access to that something so I must try to form my own opinions. There is only one thing that I can be certain of, that
life no matter what tragedies you are faced with, “There are heights of the soul from which even tragedy ceases to look tragic” (Beyond Good and Evil). He considered himself to be a teacher to these great individuals or the higher man – his target audience. Inside the higher man there are different instincts/drives that are forever battling making them a chaotic being. This results in suffering and possible self- destruction.

There is a single omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient higher power in existence that has created the universe and all that exists within it. 3. One premise supporting my uncertainty about God’s existence is the following. There is no physical evidence of God’s existence other than the Bible which was not written by God himself and is instead the work of humans. 4. A second premise supporting my uncertainty about God’s existence is the following
establish a case for Gods existence I would first agree with McCloskey that we should not use “proofs” for Gods existence since “proofs” cannot be a 100% proof of Gods existence. But there are two arguments that can help explain the existence of God. The first is the best explanation approach which is the best explanation for the things we witness. Another classical argument is cumulative case approach, in this approach we use more than one argument to make a case for Gods existence. Both of these
and the Existence of a God 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.
