“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

Dawkins, once said that the concept of God is a “delusion” and that it is “something people believe in despite a total lack of evidence.” I disagree with Dawkin’s statement as the existence of God can be proved by the existence of evil as one cannot exist without the other. I believe that the existence of evil proves that God exists as it was this argument that led former atheist; the Chronicles of Narnia author C.S.

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
know the answers to the questions presented about life. We all want to be able to answer the hard questions, is God real? If the answer is yes, how did we come to that conclusion? H.J. McCloskey is the author of an article titled, “On Being an Atheist,” within this article he argues against the theistic viewpoint in hopes of shaking the theists conclusion that there is a divine creator. He answers the questions about God and his relevance to life by saying there is no God. He came to this conclusion
each question. 1. What is your belief about ultimate reality? This is the faith I have in God to be the alpha and the omega of my life. I believe that my life is not made and controlled by my power but , controlled by a supreme being who ultimately have the power to decide my existence and what the fate of this world, and what goes on in it.
