William Paley 's ' Watch '

God is defined as a spirit or being that has great power, strength, knowledge, that can affect nature and the lives of people. Many individuals around the world believe in the existence of a higher being known as God. The dilemma of God existing has troubled and people for thousands of years. Labeling “God” for most people is not an easy task because everyone has their own concept of who and what God means to them. In this paper, I would like to show that there is a God and he is not dead. The two arguments in favor of the existence of God are reason and experience. The Teleological and Ontological are two moral arguments that effect reasoning in connection to experience. Reason is an ontological argument by St. Anselm of Canterbury in the

One of the biggest arguments that has been made is if there is life after death, which has been argued between different religions and beliefs. One example being Reincarnation and the Christian belief. What is reincarnation? It is the rebirth of the soul, like playing a game and restarting it over to make different choices. Reincarnation is something that, some people can not simply accept is even a possibility. Even if it has been proven by a world know psychiatrist, Ian Stevenson, others still doubt that it is a possibility and will come up with things to oppose or deflect the idea. Reincarnation is one of many theories that has been made, to prove whether there is a life after death or if it is all, in fact, a myth.

The question "Does God Exist?" is a well-known asked question in the world. Most people believe they know the answer to it. The religious people would say, well of course he does, while the non-religious people or atheist would say no He does not exist. Because evil exist and chaos exists, God cannot be all-powerful. In the modern world, there are many different opinions as to whether a God exists or not. This has been an issue of great dispute because many people reverence different gods or no god at all. For years, many philosophers have come up with theories, proofs, and hypotheses to prove the existence of God, and a canon of arguments has been developed. The Arguments for the Existence of God sets out to explain the everyday philosophical arguments for theism, and so to explore the case for the existence of God. The arguments themselves are arranged under the following headings: The Ontological Argument, The Cosmological Argument, The Teleological Argument, and The Moral Argument will determine if there really is a God.

Although explicated on many occasions and by many different authors, the teleological argument for the existence of God provides the best springboard from which to launch contemporary convictions of faith. In the revised edition of his earlier The Existence of God, Richard Swinburne constructs a solid outline that reveals the exact structure of the teleological argument. He presents both forms of the teleological argument , holds each under the light of skeptical review and then provides insight and defense that allows for careful philosophical review.

Throughout the ages, the topic of religion has always been discussed and argued over. Some people will always argue that God does exist, whilst others will argue that he doesn’t.

One of the most argued world view issues is the one concerning the question is there a god? Many would say that we are our own God. And we are here to do as we please.

The arguments trying to “prove” the existence of God are by far some of the most controversial philosophical arguments out there. When some of the people who created these philosophies it was illegal or even punishable by death to even question his existence, let alone try to come up with a logical explanation to “prove” he is real. The two main arguments used today are the ontological argument and the cosmological argument. Neither one of these arguments are correct nor incorrect; moreover, the argument of God is extremely controversial and will continue on long after our lifetimes.

Theists and atheists have debated the existence of God for eons. Is there a God? If there is an all-powerful, omniscient being of sorts, then what proof do we have that he exists? If God does exist then why is there so much evil in the world? Why do innocent people suffer? Such questions may never be answered definitively. In the article “On Being an Atheist,” H.J. McCloskey presents some arguments made by theists in favor of the existence of God and then proceeds to debate those arguments from an atheistic perspective. The arguments discussed include the cosmological argument and the teleological argument. McCloskey also discusses the problem of evil and how it can serve as evidence that God does not exist. McCloskey offers some thought-provoking and opinions in his article, but they do not serve to completely discredit the arguments and ideas that theists present to favor the existence of a benevolent and omnipotent God.

Through all of time there has been a fight against God. Man has constanly rejected his Creator and denied the existance of not only their God, but also as a domino effect, the existance of themselves. Research proves, by proofs from the Bible and nature itself, that all of this universe is simply a work of the Master Builder.

I must, first start at the beginning, we must first define the question into its premises. of which are; Does [noun] exist? , Does a [singular] deity exist? and Does

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.

Everyday people argue who is and isn’t right, but in all honesty whose to know? A big topic of argument is religion. Now one would think that in something so pure it would be hard to twist things but mankind has found it rather easy. Especially in The Bible, there are so many questions that are unanswered. God did not do this on accident but there has been a lot for man to make the decisions. Two topics that are frequently debated are Arminianism and Calvinism. As it has already been stated no one can have a 100% correct answer to each topics 5 main points but that doesn’t mean man should just avoid them, people should dig deeper and discover for themselves what is right in their hearts.

The Existential questions which are important to ask are, Why do we suffer? What happens after we die? and does god exist? Many religions will have answers for these questions, however the comparison between the Catholic viewpoint and the Secular Humanist viewpoint will be argued in this report.

The concept of creation has boggled human’s minds for centuries. Human nature has an intuitive sense of longing for an answer to solve the unknown, and creation embodies the concept of unknown. In an effort to compile reason and scientific knowledge, an explanation of the formation of the universe was formed and is widely known as The Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang Theory is considered, “…the leading scientific explanation for the formation of the universe” (Howell). The Big Bang Theory articulates that before this event there was nothing; and after it there was something. This suggestion to how the universe was created was originally born from the sighting that the surrounding galaxies are moving away from our own at an immense speed as if they had been propelled by some force (Howell). The standard theory states that the entire universe originated as a condensed, infinitely pressured, singularity, which defies the laws of today’s understanding of physics. It is a misconception this event occurred as an explosion; rather it resembled more of an expansion. At one moment there was nothing in existence and in the following, the universe expanded as a balloon would, from a sub atomic particle, to all that it is today. This notion of how the universe was created, is nothing more than a shot into the dark, literally, and holds no validity.

With monotheistic religions being centered around the idea of a God, the search for the proof of this God has led philosophers down many paths. To start, they often try to find a sign of God’s power; whether that be through nature, the universe, or our own consciousness, perception drives our thoughts about our relationship with God. However, what is this relationship like? Is it personal? Or is it on a scale that transcends space and time? Philosophers will try to use this broad idea of God to plug holes in our theory of everything. But is this a fair use of God? Would God judge our actions? Through these questions, ancient philosophers attempt to answer the ultimately unknowable: what is God? Proving God is regarded as the first step in answering this question, the question of the universe. Since the birth of philosophy, philosophers have used many methods in order to find a proof. Some choose a logical, mathematical deduction while others use general, inductive statements to show correlations. I will attempt to provide an overview of the three main types of arguments, compare and contrast them, and provide insight into how society should interpret them. The three main types of arguments are teleological, using “intelligent design” to question the creation of magnificent experiences; cosmological, exploring the nature of objects in the universe and their ultimate causes; and ontological, seeking a deeper meaning to consciousness in order to find a greater power.
