Is There Sufficient Evidence For God Existence Essay

Is there sufficient evidence to support belief in God?
God is immaterial, He is eternal, incomprehensible, and that is, God was and always will be. Thus, He is the Absolute Creator, which, by definition, no one has created.
In order to breathe, we aim not to see the air, but to utilize it. Moreover, the air is invisible. However, it does not negate the invisibility of its necessity and certainly does not deny its existence. Man verifies the existence of the object or event either through direct perception of the sense organs or as a result of inferences about the existence of the reasons observed effect (phenomenon or thing). We mistakenly believe that things that do not manifest it - does not exist. Just what manifests itself, but we cannot feel its manifestations, mistakenly equated us to

We should not forget that it is difficult to understand the essence of God is not what it is not clear or deficient; a matter that we are (due to its incompleteness) can not quite understand it. And also the difficulty of proving the existence of God does not nest in a precarious. That is, blindness is not evidence of absence of the sun. Our imperfection is part of a deep contradiction with the perfection of the world we observed. Everything in it is expedient and harmonious. Only man and the associated fauna is an exception. This can prove that we have been made perfect, as the whole world, because perfection cannot create imperfect, however, being perfect, injured himself (through original sin) and that have become imperfect. At the end of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount: "Be ye, therefore, perfect, even as your Father in heaven" (Morris, 1971). God, being absolutely Strong, also seeks perfection and return to us. This is the meaning of our relationship with God. Since the perfection of the universe and our imperfection is perfect proof of the existence of

    The evidential problem of evil determines the degree of how much evil must be a part of the evidence of God’s existence. While on the other hand the logical problem of evil is seen through our own eyes. It bares the question whether God is a perfect because of all wrong taking place in the world. Through these two problems it is hard to even imagine that God is perfect. Through Richard Swinburne’s theodicy (theodicy - an attempt to defend God's omnibenevolence in the face of evil) , one comes to find the case that initially escapes the evidential and logical problems…

    Each possible world created by God has its own degree of perfection, and this since of perfection is what makes the world we live in possible. As “God knows through his wisdom, chooses through his goodness, and produces through his power” to create a world where all things that reflect each other create a perfect world (Monadology, 55). The whole idea of a perfect world is like “the same town looked at from different sides appears completely different, and as if multiplied in perspective, so through infinite multitude of simple substances, it is as if there were so many different universe, which nevertheless are only perspectives on a single universe” (Monadology, 57). When it comes down to the jiff of things, I believe that only God knows what is perfect.…

    In this paper I will explain and evaluate two popular arguments regarding the existence of God, A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God by Robin Collins and The Inductive Argument from Evil Against the Existence of God by William Rowe; then I will discuss how the conclusions are not compatible with one another due to the conflicting structure of the conclusions as well as how one cannot accept both conclusions without compromising one of the arguments. First I will explain the basis of Collins’ argument, which is one of the most frequently used arguments in favor of theism. In A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God, Collins centers around the observation of how finely tuned the physical constants of the universe are to the ability for any form of life to exist, if any of them were to change even the smallest bit then no life would possibly be able to develop not to…

    Chasing after perfection by working against nature can be a hazard. Aylmer proves that merely fixating on achieving perfection, and trying to enhance or alter nature can lead to misfortune. People must understand that perfection is intangible; therefore, it cannot be created. Attempting to create or achieve perfection is useless. It is a waste of time and a waste of that which is pure, beautiful, unique, and natural.…

    The definition of perfection is the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects. As human nature, everyone wants to be perfect, and strives for it in mostly everything he or she does. This hope for perfection causes people to never become satisfied. No one can ever achieve perfection because there is no definition for perfection.…

    The Ontological argument, written by philosopher St. Anselm of Canterbury in his book the Proslogion in the eleventh century, is a metaphysical argument for the existence of God in reality. In this essay I will discuss the validity of this argument. In this text Anselm states that the concept of God has the necessary and sufficient condition of being maximally perfect- ‘that than which a greater cannot be thought’- and that, since existing in reality is greater than existing only conceptually, God must exist in reality as well. Thus, if you understand the concept of God, you must agree that he is the greatest and that he exists, since these are written into the framework of the concept.…

    God: The Existence Of God

    • 1002 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The Existence of God The question of whether God exists or not is a difficult question to answer because there is no definite proof to prove He exists. It has been such a controversial topic that to this day there is still no universally accepted answer. A scientific point of view and a religious point of view, both have their own reasons and speculations and although some points are mutually accepted, there is no mutual answer to this question. A great majority in the scientific side will believe God does not exist while the religious side disagrees and vice versa as long as both sides have no solid proof. By a solid proof, I mean something where people can clearly see that it is in fact proof of God’s existence.…

    The Zombies Survival Guide

    For one to be perfect, he must first survive. Perfection embodies the ideals of one asserting his right to live by either completely adapting to the world around him, in such a situation the Oriental philosophies would describe as harmony; or by subduing it, an aggressive approach that has brought some disastrous consequences to both mankind and the environment. Perfection is a state where a survivor is supposed to be free from the limiting bounds of hunger, exhaustion, ignorance and death. It is envisioned as a glorified version of the idealist's person, the personification of a goal of a lifetime of survival. In India, for example, Krishna, the final avatar of the god Vishnu, is said to stand for the future goal of mankind*.…

    In his Guide of the Perplexed, Maimonides clarifies his views on the relation of God to the ultimate perfection of man. Maimonides declares the understanding of God to be the most important task of man, because only through this understanding can an individual become nearer to God, and thus, perfection (Atlas 60). The perfection of man, he argues, is a direct response to a man’s understanding of God and how the man uses that understanding in an aim to imitate God’s actions. In order for man to achieve perfection, man first must comprehend God. Then, through this comprehension, an individual must align his actions to replicate God’s.…

    This doctrinal belief comes from the Wesleyan tradition. Christian perfection means that all Christians have the ability to live perfect lives, free of sin. I believe humans, because they were given free will, can choose to not sin and live a perfect life. This is nearly impossible for humans, alone, to do because of the corruption of our lives. Due to the fact that we have lived our lives consistently surrounded with sin, it is extremely difficult to fully resist sin.…
