Existence

God Is Here The existence of God has puzzled humanity since it learned to think scientifically. Philosophers proclaim God’s existence has been a debate for centuries. It has been taken into great consideration by many scholars. The unsurpassable debate of the existence of God will forever be a contentious topic. Human beings are entitled to have their own opinions. God does exist and can be easily proven by carefully examining three arguments Evil, Creation, and Morality. Evil is the first…

higher power. The question of God’s existence is one that has intrigued humanity and countless of philosophers since the beginning of logical thinking. Many philosophers believe that God exists, while others argue and refute His existence. Did the universe really occur by random chance? Or is the universe intricately designed according to a superior being? Cosmological evidence for the origin of the universe presents the Big Bang Theory as the cause for its existence. The Big Bang model implies…

Pascal: Pascal’s Wager essentially revolves around the fact that betting on God’s existence is the best bet that one can make.This is because if one wagers on God’s existence and God doesn’t exist, they lose nothing. However, if he does exist, then the can potentially gain entrance into Heaven which is the ultimate reward. Therefore, betting on God’s existence is the best bet that one can possibly make. Pascal’s Wager excludes the important virtues that support Christianity and serves as a…

Pascal’s wager to the existence of God and then evaluate his argument. Pascal argues that one ought to wager “that God is” because “[i]f you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing,” and that given this, one can bring oneself to believe in God. I argue that one cannot truly bring themselves to believe in God. Pascal’s argument is set up in three parts. The first part accepts that God is infinitely incomprehensible. To conclude to this, one has to understand the existence and nature of…

arguments for the existence of God Descartes applies the ‘Cogito ergo sum’ (‘I think therefore I am’) argument from the second meditation to prove another foundational truth, which is the existence of God. He uses his personal Christian belief and definition of God to build upon this proposition and tries to prove that something besides him exists by contemplating his idea of God. This essay will explain and assess Descartes’ aetiological and cause of existence arguments for the existence of…

In his 1968 article, McCloskey made a strong case against the existence of God, while defending his stand on atheism. His arguments are centered around the three proofs of that religious people use to explain why they believe in God. Over and above, he argues unapologetically against faith, and questions the existence of a good God in such a world full of evil and moral decadence. The question of morality does not escape him too, and in his submission is that there is more solace in atheism than…

support God’s existence and perfection. Aquinas states in his reply, “God is the first efficient cause. God must act first and through himself.” There are potential consequences that would occur if God was not the first being. For example, in human beings it takes both a man and a woman to create a child. The sample process applies to each parent. Each parent has his or her own set of parents that created him or herself. The cycle continues and one is left to ponder at the idea of the existence…

of metaphysics and ethics to demonstrate the existence of a higher power. I agree to his argument that the existence of God is self-evident amongst is also demonstrable which is agreeable. The concept of self-evident is defined as no reason or proof is required to prove an objective. In Aquinas’s terms, self-evident can be associated with the belief that the existence of God doesn’t require any indications. My indication is stating that God’s existence is self-evident however must be…

Many great philosophers have challenged and tried to rule out the existence of a higher being. Saint Augustine was known for his arguments that justified philosophical and theological ideas concerning doubt and certainty, the divided self, consciousness, time, free will and God’s foreknowledge of history. He argues his standpoint views on Christianity through his literature, in particular. While Thomas Aquinas, was well known for his five proofs or ways that only rely on the world of our…

believes that there is a God that exists, or there is not. While there are numerous opinions on God’s existence, Blaise Pascal, author of “The Wager”, believes that there is a God. However, according to Pascal, a French philosopher, we cannot fully comprehend God. “The Wager”, which includes a psychological argument, consists of individuals who are willing to risk their own lives and bet on the existence of God. Essentially, the argument of this work is between philosophy and faith,…
