Existence

The question of God and the existence of has lasted for thousands of years and while many philosophers have tried to prove or disprove Gods existence, it is still a common controversial topic today. There are three arguments that can be used in relation to the existence of God, the cosmological, the ontological, and the teleological. All three arguments have something in common, they all believe that there must be something greater in order for human existence to occur. They all have different…

crossroad, having to decide between his faith and his future. Since Josh refused to proclaim that “God is Dead”, Professor Radisson gave him a daring task to prove God’s existence and argue how God is real in the world. Throughout the film, Josh lectures on three main…

Cosmological argument The cosmological argument is a well known argument that attempts to prove the existence of God. The most common leader of the argument is Thomas Aquinas who devised Five Ways to prove the existence of God, which he referred to as “demonstration.” It comes to the conclusion that God exists from posteriori because it focuses on cause and effect to come to an assumption that God exists, which contrasts with the priori approach to the ontological argument. Linear religions…

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 lifting to worship the Superior Being and to others is natural to reject any belief in the Existence of deities or God. Theistic concept considers God who created and sustains everything as omnipotent and eternal and at the same time…

Noah Porter paraphrases Eph 2:12 as "Hopeless because Godless." Agnostics may say that they do not deny the existence of God. Whether they claim unknowableness of God or that the existence of God is unknown, in either case, they do not know God and hence they are in a Godless situation, and the above phrase may describe agnostics' condition. Porter cleverly points out that the ignorance of God, which was regarded as a sin, "is now taught as a necessity of reason" and "the unknowableness of God…

on the existence of God is based on the teleological and cosmological arguments. In his article, McCloskey refutes the claims made by these two arguments and holds that they are false. The author states that humans should dismiss the idea of God since there is evil in the world. McCloskey argues that since there is evil in the world, it can be concluded that God does not exist. The arguments made by the philosopher are related to the beliefs and values of atheists who object the existence of God…

The existence of God has been a talked subject for more than 100 decades. Throughout this time we’ve managed to take a step forward into finalizing the question once and for all. We have the cosmological view and teleological view that help us understand if we do believe on God or if we don’t. There are two types of people in this world. One that doesn’t need proof to understand that there is a God. and the other that need logic to understand if there is a God. I don’t consider myself an atheist…

Paley’s argument for the Existence of God Paley’s argument is termed the design argument which is solely based on an analogy of a watch. This is that the universe as a whole is complex and there must be an intelligent designer responsible for designing the universe. Just like the watch, the parts come together to fulfill a purpose, and if we have never seen a watch before the complexity or the way the watch was designed would make us conclude that it was made by an intelligent designer. This…

are false and contends that without complete evidences, we should expel the possibility of God totally and his primary complaint to the possibility of God is the nearness of underhandedness in the world” His approach does not actually deny the existence of God , but allows him to live as if there is no God. This may be the type of person David had in mind when he wrote of the wicked, “ There is no fear among his…

Anselm of Canterbury took on this feat in the 11th century in his work entitled Proslogion. In the beginning Anselm tries to use the idea of the limitations of human thought to prove that God exists. The basic idea behind Anselm argument for the existence of God is that there is “Something-than-which-nothing-greater-can-be-thought (Anselm 266)”. He believes that there must exist something that is so great or mighty that a person cannot think of something mightier than that. This means that…
