Existence

Descartes’ journey through the realm of his mind and his internal exploration of all the things he previously thought to be certainly true, brings him to the subject of the existence of God in his Third Meditation. Before he touches on the existence of God, he concludes that there are three different types of ideas. There are fictional and adventitious ideas which Descartes’ creates on his own and finally there are innate ideas which are present in the mind at birth. With these types of ideas in mind, he begins to tackle the idea of God and which category he falls under. 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…

But even on this charitable construal, the conclusion "Therefore, God almost certainly does not exist" does not follow from these six steps, even if we concede that each of them is true and justified. Eight Reasons in Support of God’s Existence (Prof. William Lane Craig, 2013) Craig believes that God’s existence best explains a wide range of the data of human experience. Let me briefly mention eight such cases. (I) God is the best explanation why anything at all…

The Argument for our Existence (the "Cogito"): 1. Even if we assume that there is a deceiver, from the very fact that I am deceived it follows that I exist. 2. In general it will follow from any state of thinking (e.g., imagining, sensing, feeling, reasoning) that I exist. While I can be deceived about the objective content of any thought, I cannot be deceived about the fact that I exist and that I seem to perceive objects with certain characteristics. 3. Since I only can be certain of the…

God’s attributes are eternal (P19) His features, also known as attributes, would be absurd that they can end or expire or also commence to anything else other than God’s own purposes. (P20) says God’s existence and his essence are on and the same, which the same attributes of God would better explain why God’s eternal essence at the same time of his existence, to be precise, that itself which starts God’s spirit at the same time institutes his presence. God is neither an existing thing nor an…

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…

God’s existence has been a topic of discussion for believers and non-believers alike. When discussing the existence of God one must consider the acceptance of Him by faith. If one does not have belief and trust no argument given for His existence will be accepted. The proof of God’s existence even goes beyond our planet and into the universe. The universe, the place where scientists believe time began. Many times we tend to overlook the simple things that are in front of us as signs of God’s…

I assert the position that to argue the existence of God, first depends on how much control one is or is not willing to exercise over oneself. The belief in the existence of an omnipotent, supreme being or force, requires one to relinquish some sort of control over one’s own faith and reason in return for the entitlement of certain divine positive rights. For example, the concept of salvation in Christianity requires repentance and faith in the holy trinity. this then, entitles the devotee…

The argument consists of several premises and one conclusion. The first premise would be "If there is no God, then there is no morality". The second premise would be "If God doesn't exist, then there are no truths about what is and what is not moral". The third premise would be "Of course God exists, since the billions of faithful believers out there couldn't all be wrong". Finally, the conclusion would be "Therefore, it necessarily follows that there are objective truths about what is moral". …

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…

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…
