Seven Proof Of God's Existence Analysis

Although atheists believe that, no one can disprove that God exists. The most effective method to debate the issue is to look at the evidence. Most cosmologists agree that the universe began about 13.7 billion years ago in an event known as, “The Big Bang”. Professor Hawking says, “Because there’s a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing spontaneously. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something instead of nothing; why the universe exists; why we exist. It’s necessary to invoke God to set the universe in motion,”(Hawking). Hawking says, “the universe exists because the universe needed to exist”(Hawking). Steven Weinberg, Nobel Prize winning physicist explains how the big bang looked. Steven being an atheist enlightens us with his account. Steven says, “In the beginning there was an explosion, and in three minutes, 98% of the matter there is or ever will be was produced. We had a universe,”(Weinberg). Experts in the span of 2,500 years agreed with Aristotle’s idea on the world developing from a steady-state universe.” “Being in a steady-state universe existing with no beginning and no end. The Bible disagrees with their theory,”(Aristotle). Belgian astronomer of the 1920s, Georges Lemaitre, a theist, said, “that the entire universe, jumping into existence in a trillionth of a trillionth of a second, out of nothingness in an unimaginably intense flash of light, is how

David states that the widely accepted cause of the universe, which consists of a very large explosion whose aftermath was the universe, “doesn’t really account for that original… something that exploded.” (Woody 14). This quotes demonstrates how even though it explains the universe’s beginning, the big bang theory does not explain how the things that caused it, which is the quantum vacuum and a singularity in it, came to be. David thus

1. The Cosmological Argument for the existence of God is based on the principle of cause and effect. What this basically means is that the universe was the effect of a cause, which was God. One of the oldest and most well known advocates of the Cosmological Argument was Thomas Aquinas who outlines his argument for the existence of God in his article entitled The Five Ways. The first way in his argument is deals with motion. Aquinas says that in order for something to be in motion something had to move it because it is impossible for something to move without the presence of some sort of outside force upon it. Therefore the world around us, nature, and our very existence could not have been put into motion without the influence of the

Some of the three major arguments for the existence of God are cosmological, ontological, and teleological arguments. Cosmological argument is the reasoning that the being of the universe is powerful proof for the existence of a God who made it. There are two main forms of cosmological argument, the modal and temporal. Modal cosmological argument, also known as the argument from contingency, recommends that because the world may not have existed, we then need some clarification of why it does exist. When there is more than one likelihood, something has to decide which of the possibilities is understood clearly. Therefore the world is contingent, because there has to be a logical reason for its existence. This form of argument also claims that the only type of existence that doesn’t need any clarification is a being that does not failed to exist such as God. Temporal cosmological argument, also known as the Kalam argument, contends that all evidence are that there is a point in life at which the world began to exist, and that this starting must either have been caused or uncaused. The cosmological argument used by Aquinas declares that since nothing originates from nothing. Therefore the world must have been brought into reality by something outside it, which can be called "God".

This chapter was consumed of arguments trying to answer how the universe was created, is there a god, and is god the one who created the world we live in and everything it offers, and what if god wasn’t the creature of the universe, does god exist at all? The argument of design stated that everything had to have been created by an intelligent designer. It argued that earths wonderful features could not have just happed out of the blue, they had to have had an intelligent designer, they had to have been created by god. The Best-Explanation Argument stated that intelligent design was much more reliable than pure chance. The Same- Evidence Argument stated that the universe is made up of parts that work together to accomplish something, so we can conclude that the universe was created by an intelligent designer. The Natural selection theory was

The Bible shows God’s existence in creation in the books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, and Romans. Job 12:7-10 says, “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.” The Bible also gives an example of the design argument.

The Big Bang is a very popular theory among both Christians and non-Christians. However, it is not totally unquestionable, if it were there would be no more arguments concerning the creation of the world. The main question asked about the Big Bang is “Who, or what triggered it?”

Scientific reasoning has brought humanity to incredibly high levels of sophistication in all realms of knowledge. For Saint Thomas Aquinas, his passion involved the scientific reasoning of God. The existence, simplicity and will of God are simply a few topics which Aquinas explores in the Summa Theologica. Through arguments entailing these particular topics, Aquinas forms an argument that God has the ability of knowing and willing this particular world of contingent beings. The contrasting nature of necessary beings and contingent beings is at the heart of this debate.

The study of science is defined as that which deals with the workings of the physical world we are able to observe and measure. The origin of life, however, is a topic that science has long grappled with, despite the impossibility of observing or proving any origins theory in a strictly scientific manner. Today, the widely accepted theory of life’s beginning is the theory of Evolution by mutation and natural selection, or Neo-Darwinism. Most people in our modern society accept this theory at face value because it is popular with the majority of scientists, but it must always be taken into account that our origins cannot be proven scientifically and that, in fact, the theory of Evolution is not the only or even the most logical theory

Part of the problem is, in fact, that it does not necessity a God nor prove a God, however, neither does it disprove.  It does suggest there is another reason, or cause, for which the universe is as it is.    Still, the greater the odds, the less likely such things occur of accident.  The chances of life occurring on this planet, of all planets, in the whole universe, is less than 1 chance in 10182. Others, considering the possibility of life on other planets, based on evolution, hold it to be less than 0.01 per cent over four billion years.  ( (Staff 2008)) Even scientifically, these probabilities are practically null.

This is another controversial topic that many people have different ideas about. Spontaneous generation was believed to be the origin of life, but Louis Pasteur proved that theory to be wrong with his experiments of microbes. During this time Darwin proposed his theory of evolution. Many people were convinced by this theory and since spontaneous generation was disproved the only choice that was left was that God created life which then evolved. Wright goes on to discuss the properties, from astronomer Hugh Ross, that had to be just perfect for life to be attainable on Earth. There are too many stipulations for life that would just randomly form. One big theory for how life came about is chemical evolution. There is not sufficient data to prove this

Although natural selection was responsible for a change in genes to occur, struggle and a need to adapt were ultimately the instigators of natural selection. As a result, many species faced hardships and were forced to evolve in order to survive. From a scientific standpoint, such hardships are reflected in historical sequences of genes, which reveal imperfections and flaws that align with Darwin’s principle of “descent with modification”. This principle is fundamental to the process of evolution in nature as it describes how genes are passed from generation to generation. With this in mind, evolution occurred naturally and on it’s own. If God did play a hand in designing nature, how could he have done so in such a careless fashion? The God talked about by intelligent design theorists and creationists is one of importance, of intricacy and purpose. As Francis Crick put it, “if God is responsible for these designs, then His intelligence looks disturbingly like human obtuseness and

    Secondly, I present to you the “Law” of Biogenesis, which is actually not a law at all. This “Law” states that matter can arise spontaneously from other matter. Some would say that Biogenesis is an existing fact, because of the Miller Urey Experiment. This Experiment, though trying to prove that Biogenesis exists, actually proves exactly the opposite. Miller tries to convey life as a spontaneous event, which formed as the effect of an accidental chemical reaction in the Earth’s atmosphere(Answers). The scientists who conducted this experiment did not use any oxygen to support their replicated atmosphere. Instead they used methane ammonia, even though our earth is supported by oxygen. Although the Miller Urey did

There is no objective evidence to demonstrate the existence of nature’s creator. If we were to think the design argument was reasonable, then one must also take under consideration the amount of ‘creators’ are required

Firstly, we shall focus on the Design (or to use its philosophically technical term, the teleological argument). There are numerous variants of the Design argument, however we shall be focusing on Paley’s version (reference 1) of this theory. Paley’s version of the Design argument is based upon the idea that by looking around at certain features of the world (for example an inanimate object like a rock or say a living creature like dolphin or a person like myself) and theorising that they are too complex and intricate to randomly just manifest. They must have been created by a higher, more intelligent power and thus, if this is accepted as being so, then this proves beyond doubt that God exists.
