Existence of God

his arguments. I find debate on the subject of God to be fascinating, especially from the side of the theist. As Christopher Hitchens said… “Well, why do I say charming? Because I think it 's rather sweet that people of faith also think they ought to have some evidence. “ Summary of Pro’s argument Pro argues that Jesus existed, that the New Testament is a reliable source for history and thus as it claims Jesus was raised from the Dead that Jesus is God. It should be apparent already that even…

without meaning. • He does not believe in God or anything afterlife. He writes of the absurd, the separation from man and his life. He believes that there is no meaning because everyone’s fate is death in the end, and because he objects to the…

Rene Descartes born in France in 1956 has brought many influential ideas. Among many of his ideas was that of analytical geometry. He was based on using mathematics as a foundation for knowledge and finding truth. As such, he wants to prove God’s existence by surrounding himself of ideas. He questions himself about things in doubt and clear and distinct ideas. As well, Descartes wants to clarify that being imperfect cannot produce something more perfect and that is better to know perfect than…

has been the existence of God. This isn’t something that can be proven through science, yet it’s something that will remain forever debated. Philosophers have produced many logical theories that are easy to believe, but many of these theories are strictly opinions. God does exist, and one of the most well-known theories backing this statement is the design argument. What is the design argument for the existence of God? There are variations to this argument for the existence of God, but this…

the paper will look into the critique of Thomas Hobbes to Rene Descartes’s argument for the existence of God. Descartes argues that he has the idea of the existence of an infinite, perfect and all-powerful being. In the meditations on first philosophy, Descartes presents the proves for the existence of god with the apparent evidence that I am finite and imperfect being but I have this idea of the existence of an infinite, perfect and eternal being in mind which must have been caused by something…

Followers of the Jewish faith follow thirteen main principles, the first one being the belief in the existence of the Creator, who is perfect in every manner of existence and is the Primary Cause of all that exists. Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel describes throughout his memoir Night his curiosity and profound belief of God and Judaism. Before he and his family are deported to Auschwitz, Wiesel explains the disbelief and doubt the Jewish people had about the…

from evil argues and targets against a specific type of god which is argued to be all powerful, knowing, and good. The argument states that if such God were to exist, then we would not have evil in the world. Yet, all around us we see evil and therefore God cannot exist. The argument from evil is a reductio ad absurdum argument because we take on the fact that there is evil in the world and because of this, derive the conclusion that an all-pkg God cannot exist. An important thing to note is…

argument as even scientists today are left speechless about many natural events. According to William Paley, the world’s wonders are evidence that can lead to the belief in the existence of God through what was later known as the design argument (Paley 40). Although it was developed in the 18th century, Paley’s argument for God through design is still supported now with further arguments of cosmic fine-tuning, as the world is in precise conditions for life, but has also received many criticisms…

scientifically perfect for the production, reproduction and development of human existence, but instead, the earth functions in the way God intended it to. There is of course a counter argument for this, otherwise known as the Anthropic Principle. Through this, Brandon Carter expresses the principle that we should not be surprised that the universe is as it is, because simply, if it were not, one would not be in existence to be surprised or furthermore, to question such motions. He goes on to…

Arguments for and against the existence of God have been around for thousands of years. Philosophers have been using arguments as an attempt to validate their beliefs. To do this, philosophers string together a series of statements to form different types of arguments, including deductive, inductive, a priori, and a posteriori arguments. Furthermore, a few philosophers use evidential approaches to establish the existence of God. Often, these approaches include pragmatics or direct perception,…
