Existence

​The design argument for the existence of God is a type of inductive argument that states there exists an implicit and explicit design or purpose of the universe that points to a single designer, of whom many believe to be an omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent, God. Theists in support of the design argument believe that there is such a small chance that the world could be aligned so perfectly for the universe to exist without the existence of an intelligent designer. Analogy is one form of the

after our likeness”. What does this mean? Surely not physical, as God is formless. I think it is something more like the ‘soul’ or consciousness that is referred to here, that which makes us truly alive, and not just living. What is the cause of my existence and that of everyone else? Simply put, God is the cause of all that exists. Genesis 1:1 (ESV) is one of the more known verses in the Bible, saying “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Specifically, everything was created through

It is believed that Anselm and St. Aquinas have completely different views, however, their views are much more alike than we believe them to be. It is said that “Anselm’s “proof” of God’s existence operates on the premise that there is such a notion as Truth and that this truth is knowable through human intellect, reasoning or understanding” (Anselm 147). This meaning that once you understand what is meant by the concept of God, you can see that as a matter of logic it follows that God has to exist

Most of the problem religion has this days is that people think religion is taken for granted essentially. that is one can't be contemplated into believing in a religion, In any given religion, the fundamental evidence of God's presence is the way that sacred writings. Whichever ones they might be informs us of his reality and his forces. Descartes goal is to make arrangement intended to demonstrate God's presence. On those, he built the majority of his different arguments. His objective in demonstrating

Sartre’s argument for the claim that without God, a person is “nothing else but what he makes of himself,” is based in the Age of Forlornness. According to Sartre, the existence of God is impossible, since the very concept of God is contradictory, because it would be the achieved in-itself-for-itself. Therefore, if God does not exist, he has not created man according to an idea that fixes his essence, so that man meets his radical freedom. This theory has an ethical consequence in which Sartre affirms

For centuries human beings have been questioning the existence of God. This has led to numerous questions and theories. For instance, if God is all-know, all-loving, all-powerful then why does he allow tragedies, natural disasters and overall bad things to occur? Is he willing to remove all evils but not able to? Then he must not be all powerful. The Greek philosopher Epicurus stated: is he able but not willing? Then God must not be all good. Is he able and willing? Then why is there evil? Or is

previously thought to be certainly true, brings him to the subject of the existence of God in his Third Meditation. The God that we have come to hear about is known to be an all powerful, all knowing eternal creator. Many people have their doubts about whether that anything could possibly be infinite. Descartes first touches on how the possibility of an infinite entity is possible in order to assist in his argument of the existence of God. Descartes argues that the idea of the possibility of an infinite

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. Lewis, to believe in the existence of God- “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it but because by

The existence of God has been in question for as long as mankind has existed and thought logically. Many questions have plagued the human mind in regards to God, and there have been many arguments drawn with the hopes of proving the existence of a supreme being whom we know as God. The “God” question has been presented to every individual at some point in their lives. It is a topic that will bring forth never-ending questions and an equal amount of attempted answers. Many philosophers have formulated

Throughout Proslogion Anselm defends his argument that “God is which nothing greater can be thought” by providing key elements. Anselm proposes that one cannot imagine a god that is greater, and even non-believers have a conception of the western god. Anselm asserts that since everyone has an understanding of god in their mind, then god exist in reality. This paper will evaluate some of the main key elements that Anselm uses to prove that the ontological argument is correct in Proslogion. I contend
