Existence of God

In units four though six, each philosopher mentioned has reasoning for why God may or may not exist. In this paper, I will argue that God as an omnipresent being does in fact exist. There have always been philosophers questioning God’s existence, however the only one true argument against God’s existence is evil. They ask how can there be evil in the world if God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful? I will now give a few points that prove God’s existence. Maybe Start by Explaining religion? I will start by addressing the importance of God’s existence. Tolstoy explains this perfectly that life is meaningless without a God present in your life. Without God, man is just an irrelevant and hopeless member of an irrelevant and hopeless…

66. What is God, or better, WHO IS ‘GOD’? • Undeniably, the belief system of anyone is closely connected to the achieved step on the ladder of Evolution. Therefore, an inherent aptitude cannot be voluntarily modified into something else the person cannot be ‘mentally comfortable’ with. Not surprisingly, that throughout the history, in the natural absence of the clear consensus on Existence of God and character of God, various concepts have emerged among Terrestrial Humans. To some is heart…

I think that if 'cogito ergo sum ' is the foundation of Descartes ' project in the Meditations, the existence of God is the cornerstone that joins the internal and the external world, making knowledge possible beyond the sole account of the self. Therefore, God 's existence has a major role in the overall argument - it is that which enables the thinker to take the first steps towards the 'unification of sciences '. However, in my opinion, it is not employed correctly, as Descartes, in…

Existence of God The argument about Gods existence is one of the most exploited subjects among different scholars and philosophers in the world. It is a question that most people have been defeated to tackle in the sense that, no significant evidence has been set to dispute or acknowledge the fact that God exists. In this context, it is still an ongoing process, and therefore different people have set different explanations. To most individuals and religious groups in the world, the existence…

arguments for the existence of god. However, only one seems interesting to me and that was the ontological argument. There are so many who studied this argument that I find it so interesting to see how they all found it and explained it. The ontological argument is the argument based on reason. It is based on the very being of God. With this argument there is no need for finding physical evidence for the existence of God. It attempts to prove the existence of God by the word and meaning of God…

how our world began and if there exists a greater being. In this essay I will be examining the arguments surrounding the existence of God. There are three main arguments that hope to establish the existence of God, such as, the Ontological, Cosmological, and Teleological arguments, and in this essay I will analyze each, and point out which one has the greatest chance at being convincing. In Anselm’s Ontological Argument, he plans to establish, that there is a God, purely from his definition of…

orderly whole): a posterior, deductive. "god" is the "first (uncaused) cause "of the cosmos. it is deductive, so it is a candidate for soundness. Then the cosmological argument is the argument that the existence of the world or universe is strong evidence for the existence of a God who created it. The existence of the universe, the argument claims, stands in need of explanation, and the only adequate explanation of its existence is that it was created by God. In simple words, cosmological…

The second part of this argument focuses on the definition of God but is perceived so clearly and distinctly. The idea of God is of a supremely perfect being. A supremely perfect being has all perfections. Existence is a predicate of a perfect being, therefore, God must exist to avoid being self-contradictory. Therefore, God exists. Moreover, existence is a predicate of God, because as a most perfect being, God must possess existence, otherwise he would not be perfect. In Descartes mind, the…

The argument for the existence of God will always give rise to infinitive points of view. St. Anselm (c. 1033- April 21, 1109) was distinguished philosopher, scholar, theologian and an Italian monk who later went on to become the Archbishop of Canterbury. His thinking and writings about God and the disposition of faith has influenced and fascinated scholars and philosophers since the Middle Ages—some would even say he is the most important Christian thinker of the 11th century. In his highly…

eventually prove God’s existence. Consequently, I find his argument compelling because I believe he is elevating human qualities or possibly attempting to liberate Descartes’ ideas of human doubt and imperfection. Spinoza builds his argument for the existence of God and thus qualities of human nature with general propositions; for example, in contrast with Descartes’ view: Spinoza suggests one substance cannot be produced by another substance. In comparable to Descartes’ assertion that God’s…
