Existence of God

In discussing about the existence of God, Saint Augustine’s view is that God is not subject to decay, to harm or to change. He believes that only inferior beings are subject to decay, and that includes everything and everyone living on Earth. Therefore, anything that could not decay was evidently more superior. Yet, Augustine finds himself unsure about the form of God, since he does not take the form of a human being and anything within the Earth, since God is not subject to decay and if it…

Wager that if we are unsure of God’s existence, then we should believe in Him rather than risk not believing in Him resulting in harsh consequences. David Hume (1711-1776), an Evidentialist and a Scottish Philosopher, states his skepticism of miracles through his beliefs. While Pascal states to believe in God through his Wager and Hume discusses his disbelief in miracles, both are sufficient and persuasive views. Blaise Pascal states in his Wager that, “God is, or is not” (Pascal p. 191). Which…

The Existence of God The existence of God is all around us. Love and faith are much like God. We don 't have to see love or faith for it to be real, but we feel it in our hearts and souls. Unfortunately, this has become a disturbing time here on earth for what Christianity is about. It 's as if we don 't want to believe he ever existed in the first place. Critical rationalism through history, credibility of fideism, and The Holy Bible will continue to insure faith and impact his existence to…

Kant’s argument is convincing. He makes believing in God rational by providing several questions to consider. He raises his point by bringing up objective moral facts. First stating that God's existence is reasonable because there must be a first cause. He also talks about individual morals and how God and morality go hand and hand. He then brings into light the categorical imperative, and how rational people create maxims. Furthermore, Kant mentions the highest good and happiness and how our…

If God exists, he must be omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omnibenevolent (all good). However, there is evil in this world. Evil is defined by suffering. Then comes the question of whether God exists and if he does, then why is there still evil and suffering in the world? If God were truly omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent, then our world would not contain evil whatsoever. There is a whole range of people who experience suffering but it is best to narrow it down…

God created everything we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. All we see are His creations. He created all things based on His image and likeness. He made everything beautiful but not all things perfect. With all colors, forms and beauty, God also created imperfections. He has created evil that makes people sin. He created all things good same as with all things bad. Temptations, fear and flaws are also present in this world but, evil is not created for us to suffer and feel burdened. It was…

When it comes to the existence of God, there are many arguments. Some say that God does not exist while others try to explain how the universe was created. Saint Thomas Aquinas gives a cosmological view on whether God exists. In his article, Whether God Exists, he provides five arguments to support his view. The first article talks about motion. Just like the Myth of the Cave the prisoners used their senses to survive on a daily basis. Your senses prove that things are in motion. This shows…

God Does Exist God, the one and only being perfect in wisdom, power, all goodness and whom is worshipped as our creator and ultimate ruler of the universe. The most perfect being that can ever be conceived1. The same God that introduced evil, temptation and destruction to man. Could one being be the cause of all madness and mayhem? How is one meant to conceive that god only inflicts evil if he is intending to “bring good out of evil”2. With the influence and advancement of modern day technology…

world and so much hate that we have to live with. Why have a God when all of these evil exist in this world. Is there even a God, if all…

In today’s day and age one highly controversial topic of debate is religion. Has God become obsolete with all the scientific progress the human race has made in the past few decades? Lewis Vaughn explains in his book Philosophy: Here and Now ( pg. 64-66) St. Thomas Aquinas’s evidence for God. Aquinas’ arguments for the existence of God are known as the first-cause argument and the argument from motion. Aquinas explains that in the universe everything is moving and caused by something, for…
