Does God Exist Essay

individual from around the world in different seasons and for many reasons. That is not to say God does not exist, nor does that mean evil does not exist. On the contrary as a firm believer, I believe God allows things to happen not to break us or dismay us. But, rather to open our eyes and see proof that there is good even in evil. If we could so easily attempt to see that through our transgressions, God can still reveal the good in our bad as well as our ugly. The problem of evil consist of…

If God exists, why is there so much evil in the world? God is described as an all-good (omnibenevolent), all-knowing (omniscient), and all-powerful (omnipotent), overall superior being. We believe that if God is real and he is what he is portrayed to be, there should be no evil. This presents us with the problem of evil: the difficulty of reconciling the existence of suffering and other evils in the world with the existence of God. (Lawhead 364). There are two different kinds of evil that exist;…

“On Being an Atheist” H.J. McCloskey tells us he is a proclaimed atheist. For years there has been a huge debate between theists and atheists regarding questions about God and Life. Some of these questions are: Is There a God? And Why is there evil in the world? H.J. McCloskey has many viewpoints concerning the reality of God and the fact the world was formed by a gifted creator. McCloskey argued the three theistic proofs, which are the cosmological argument, the teleological argument also…

centered around the idea that there is a god that will save them and give them eternal life? Sartre in his piece, “Existentialism”, lays out why god is man-made. While his argument is for his personal goal to show that man in responsible for man, he also shows how god could, can be, and is so essential to humans. Sartre’s claim is that if mankind is responsible for mankind, then there can be no god that rules mankind (1130). He states, “[if] God does not exist [then man-kind] ha[s] to face all…

The role of God in Descartes’ meditations is very significant, and I believe that he is indeed entitled to use God’s existence in this way. The purpose of this essay is to set out Descartes’ main arguments of God. Firstly, I will briefly discuss a fundamental philosophical topic – how could I have been created if there were no God? Secondly, I will assess one of Descartes’ main arguments of the roots of knowledge and God’s role with this, and finally I will speak about Descartes’ ontological…

Whether the God exists or not: Actually We don’t have any idea about god but we came to know from our parents that god exists.They mainly emphasis on puranas. In this moral argument involves that whether it is a fact or not.The facts favour that religious arguments for morality rather than moral arguments for religious belief. There is a connection between morality and religion.Many people are believing that religion is a basis or foundation of morality. Morality is nothing but real and moral…

forth into the world. These ideas about God are honestly hard for me to debate since I can see how both sides of God having foreknowledge of everything that is still to happen which makes humans not responsible for sin, and humans being at fault for their own sins. I have in past struggled with the idea that Judas went to hell when Jesus already knew that Judas would betrayed him. Why would he suffer when Judas was all part of a divine plan laid out by God to save mankind? I also struggle…

It is hard to imagine a world where evil did not exist. It seems to be that evil is always part of our daily activities, whether it be big or small. I always knew that evil was part of life but I never really understood the reasoning behind it. Till this day suffering and evil was never something that I questioned or wondered why it existed in a world that was created by God himself. I always found myself questioning the existents of God when things were going bad. I would questions his…

God: absolute, limitless, and perfect. It is a wonder to many if such an omnipotent being truly exists, or if it is nothing more than a fictitious concept. However, renowned French philosopher(and mathematician) René Descartes is confident in his belief that God exists. Descartes arrived to his conclusion on the premise of his “causal principle”, based on the twin concepts of intrinsic and representative reality; intrinsic reality being the scale of “perfection” a thing that exists has (ie: a…

One philosopher that freely gives off his opinion on god's existence would be St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Aquinas, in his Summa Theological, he explains five separate proofs for the existence of God. His proofs rely on the world, what we see or experience. St. Aquinas’ first proof explains how there was once an all powerful object that started all the motion. Anything that is currently in motion was first at rest and was moved by another motion which was moved by another motion. Because anything…
