Existence of God

TOPIC: Existence of God Thesis: Humans have long struggled with the questions of life; why are we here, and how did we come into being. In the search for answers to these matters, societies have attempted to provide solutions, in the form of supreme beings. However, it will be argued, that God, as defined as a single entity that created all life, does not exist because the universe developed from the Big Bang, human life evolved over millennia, and previously unexplainable mysteries were…

The argument argues deductively against the existence of God based on a theist’s explanation of the existence of evil and the characteristics of God. Personally, I think this argument is weak. First, God, the creator of the universe, is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent, which is all-PKG based on the common western culture point of view. Based on the characters of god, the existence of evil is contradict to the existence of god since the god is defined as all-PKG. Evil is being…

concerning the cause of barometrical variations in 1640s [11]. Blaise Pascal argued with Anslew, Aquinas, and Paley about the existence of God. He believed that existence of God is based on faith, which he believes that God probably existed, and although this cannot be proven there is nothing to lose and everything to gain in accepting God. He thinks that even if someone has faith in God, they will never know…

that God does not exist in the minds of atheists. Atheists argued that should God exit, then a pious person, such as Job in the Biblical Book of Job, who kept his faith in God, should not have suffered miserably from undeserved evil on earth. To support this statement, Job’s friend, Eliphaz suggested that the problem of Evil emanated from man and did not spring from the earth and that man is born to trouble. The religion of Manichaeism asserted that there must have been two gods-one of good god…

In this paper I will explain and evaluate two popular arguments regarding the existence of God, A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God by Robin Collins and The Inductive Argument from Evil Against the Existence of God by William Rowe; then I will discuss how the conclusions are not compatible with one another due to the conflicting structure of the conclusions as well as how one cannot accept both conclusions without compromising one of the arguments. First I will explain the basis of…

believe in God, and even thinks of existence as a more positive experience without the existence or idea of a God. He believes that God does not exist and a world without God is better off in the long run. Jillette has many arguments opposing the existence of God. Mr. Jillette begins his argument opposing the existence of God by giving a definition of atheism, which he defines as “not believing in God,” or more specifically, the lack of positive belief that there exists such a being as God.…

Why does God allow pain and suffering on this Earth? How is it possible for an all knowing, all powerful, loving Deity to co-exist in a world with Satan? Theodicy, in its classical form, requires the adherent of a theistic faith to reconcile the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect God with the existence of evil. (Surin, 1983) The problem of evil is in itself an argument which challenges the existence of good. Humans experience evil in many different forms such as death,…

Throughout the course of human history perhaps no issue has caused as much debate or controversy as the question of the existence of God. People on both sides have provided a variety of interesting arguments to support their positions. Perhaps no argument is as famous as one by Hume which has come to be known as the problem of evil. The argument goes as follows, “Epicurus’ old questions are yet unanswered. Is he willing to prevent evil, but no able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not…

Throughout history, Religion and belief in God have been deeply rooted in culture. To question God’s existence was considered shameful. In early ages, questioning God’s existence was considered personally insulting to many people and their religions, therefore few people broke away from the norm. However, with the introduction and advancement of science into cultural, individuals gained a groundwork for they're questioning. With factual evidence arising, providing proof for the creation of the…

The world was created by who? Science, God or its self? All these questions are asked everyday by people who do not want to believe there is a magnificent being up in heaven. I would not say I never thought exactly like the way these people think but because of my encounter with the God, I am able to believe there is a supreme being. According to the biblical view, God is the creator of all things here and is to come. The animals, tress, sunlight, darkness, and most importantly humans. (Genesis…
