Existence of God

comprehensive perspective of the current global atrocities, the existence of evil has never been more prevalent. If evil is defined as extreme suffering, premature death, and moral corruption, its existence questions the Christian view of God. The Christian God is an all-seeing, all-powerful being of moral perfection. Because these two truths cannot coexist, the fact that evil exists disproves the existence of the Christian God. If God is omnipotent, He could prevent any injustice. Since injustice

than Christianity. McCloskey believes that atheism is a more rational belief versus having a God who allows people to suffer so he can have the glory. He believes to live in this world, you must be comfortable. The introduction of his article, he implements an overview of arguments given by the theist, which he introduces as proofs. He claims that the proofs do not create a rationalization to believe that God exists. He provides 3 theist proofs, which are Cosmological argument, teleological argument

Question 2 In part IX of Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, Deamea, the orthodox Christian, confronts Philo’s skepticism towards the arguments for God’s existence and nature that have thus far be discussed. Deamea presents a version of the ontological argument that he believes should provide undeniable proof of the truths found in religious dogma. However, Philo is not convinced with this argument because of the nature of the argument. Philo describes Deamea’s ontological argument as an

Rene Descartes's View on God       In 1996, songwriter Joan Osborne performed a song called "One of Us" that was nominated for three Grammy Awards.  What made this song so successful and interesting were the powerful lyrics that basically asked, "What if God were a human being?"  As she was writing the lyrics to "One of Us," she was wondering about God and how the world would be different if God did exist in real life and not just a supernatural force.  You may be asking yourself, "What does

every argument for the non-existence of God, and is often understood as inherently opposing to faith. However, the story of Antony Flew is one that atheists can and should not discard, as he experienced something very different. Born into a Christian family Flew grew up in the church and was exposed to Christian beliefs and customs. He never really found a personal connection to Christianity and converted to Atheism, but after decades of arguing the non-existence of God, he came to the conclusion

the same, however the thing that is common to all the religions is the fact that the people who follow any religion believe that God exists. Atheists, on the contrary, do not have any such beliefs and this is the main reason why they are known to not follow any religion. Therefore, the main issue that will be discussed in this paper is pertaining to the existence of God and whether or not a person can be morally correct without being religious or without being a follower of a specific religion. Some

discusses the evidence that highlights the ideal of God’s existence through the Ontological Argument. Davies believes that some of these hold a good argument while others lack logical reasoning to conclusively state “therefore there must be a God.” Davies begins with an example of the Ontological Argument presented by Anselm, who believes that if God can be conceived in thought and it is far greater for that being to actually exist, then God must exist. I find this to be misleading. That creating

With the following “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’?” (Anslem page 81), giving one the thought to conclude that he is denying the existence of God in other words. In the following paragraph he states “But when this same fool hears me say ‘something than which nothing greater can be thought’ he surely understands what he hears” (Anslem 82), here one gets the understanding that even the “fool” understands the concept of God being conceivable because he was told so and this being

Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy includes a proof for the existence of material objects, such as trees. Descartes accomplishes this by first doubting all things, from which he learns that he can be certain of nothing but his own existence as a thinking thing. From this established certainty, Descartes is able to provide proof for the existence of God, and, finally proof of the existence of material objects. Descartes’ proof of God, however, from which the proof of material things is made possible

for design’. This argument is by far the most popular and most often expressed by people. This is mainly due to the fact that people would like to re-affirm their belief in their God. As, if everyone around them were trying to prove that God didn’t existed, then them believing in a God would probably seem
