Arguments for the existence of God

Descartes Arguments for God's Existence One would sometime question the existence of god just like how René Descartes questions and argues about god’s existence. In Descartes “meditation on first philosophy,” he talks about reality and as well his existence. But he also talks about the existence of God, in how god could be a deceiver and yet still believing that God is not a deceiver as he said “I have no reason to think that God is such a deceiver. In fact, I don’t even know yet whether God…

how the existences of God fails to be proven or sustained. The author argues that there is insufficient arguments to prove a theist belief while accrediting an atheistic point of view. The following essay is a response to McCloskey article from a different angle. The Cumulative case that is presents in the article and argued against are the three theistic proofs: cosmological, teleological or design argument, and the argument of moral and evil. The first arguments is the existence of God claimed…

The Existence of God The existence of God has been debated through the history of man. Many philosophers argue that they may or may not be a God or the idea that many different Gods exist. But if you think logical you will realize the debate on God existence can be seen as a myth for many reason. The lack of knowledge or the limited knowledge of God existing leaves behind a gap in history. Therefore, the possibly idea of finding a missing part of history is impossible. The reality of it all is…

The existence of God has been debated throughout history. There are many arguments for the existence of God but there are two commonly-accepted arguments among theists: the cosmological argument and the teleological argument also known as the argument from design. In his article entitled “On Being an Atheist”, H.J. McCloskey attempts to refute each of these arguments. His stated purpose in the article is to provide reasons for atheism and to show that it is more comforting to be an atheist than…

To provide an argument to justify that one’s beliefs are true beyond a shadow of a doubt can be a process in which faces many challenges. There must be a thorough unbiased investigation of what is trying to be discovered or verified which can often lead to one’s conjecture. There are many phenomenon in this world that would prove challenging to explain, and one of those things is the existence of a god. Throughout the history of humanity, there have been many speculations on this topic in…

ontological argument for god’s existence? Why or why not? 1. Introduction For the vast majority of human history our intellectual power has been directed at trying to prove the existence of gods, I will be looking at an argument for god/s existence called the Ontological argument. I will start by giving the history of this argument and how it was built, and then I will be giving my own personal opinion on the ontological argument. 2.1 What is an ontological argument? The ontological argument is…

God existence Introduction In answering the question concerning the existence of the living of the greatest being God, some considerations are put into place. Those considerations include discoveries by astronomists and arguments by philosophers. The existence of God is discussed well in books such as the assortments of the world and these are important as they reveal that truly the greatest being existed. It is true that the leading argument about the existence of God was presented by Anselm…

The argument for God’s existence has remained a constant topic of conversation, and at the head of much controversy. An argument attempting to prove the existence of God can be found through the Cosmological Argument, known also by its informal name as the “first cause argument”. The argument raises the issue of a first cause and where all things in the universe originated. This issue serves importance by highlighting conflicts humanity faces when questioning the origin of all things, and…

defend for the existence of God. First I will present Anselm’s ontological argument for the existence of God on the claim that he is the greatest conceivable being, then I will present Gaunilo’s objection for the unsoundness of Anselm’s argument on the claim of which there are no set limitations for the characteristic of the greatness, which I think fails. I will show that Anselm’s ontological argument can withstand Gaunilo’s objection by emphasizing the maximal characteristics God possesses.…

The cosmological argument is one theory for the existence of God; it is based upon the existence of a unique being, which is commonly referred to as God. This based upon facts regarding causation, contingency, motion, change and finitude relative to the processes within the universe. In this essay I am going to describe the arguments of Aristotle, one of the founders of this argument and Leibniz, who argues for the principle of sufficient reason; a theory that goes hand in hand with the…
