    Existence Of Dinosaurs

    • 1392 Words
    • 6 Pages

    A logical motive for faking the existence of dinosaurs includes attempting to prove evolution and therefore disprove Christian beliefs. The existence of dinosaurs implies that God just tinkered with the idea of them, became bored, and then rid the Earth of them. This theory suggests that God came up with the idea of man as an afterthought, going against the belief that man is created in God's image. This whole theory suggests an imperfect God, which undermines everything the Christian faith stands on. The Bible, a highly regarded book in many religious faiths, reveals many things if one reads it literally. They would uncover multiple facts that disprove the existence of dinosaurs. First, the six day creation period states that God formed everything…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Proof Of God's Existence

    • 854 Words
    • 4 Pages

    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". …

    Descartes’s mission in the meditations was to doubt everything and that what remained from his doubting could be considered the truth. This lead Descartes to argue for the existence of God. For the purpose of this paper, I will first discuss Descartes’s argument for the existence of God within the third and fifth meditations. I will then take issue with three of Descartes arguments. Descartes argues that some ideas are more real than others. These ideas are those that represent…
