Existence

argument comes from the fact that he has an idea of what God is like. Since an idea like that couldn’t come from him, it must have come from God. His second argument is a causal argument. Descartes knows he exists, so there must be a cause for his existence, and God is that cause. His third argument resembles the ontological argument, and is based on the definition of God. He theorizes that God is perfect, and nothing that is perfect does not exist. Therefore, God must exist because God not existing

1. The Cosmological Argument for the existence of God is based on the principle of cause and effect. What this basically means is that the universe was the effect of a cause, which was God. One of the oldest and most well known advocates of the Cosmological Argument was Thomas Aquinas who outlines his argument for the existence of God in his article entitled The Five Ways. The first way in his argument is deals with motion. Aquinas says that in order for something to be in motion something had

Summary of the Argument Appealing to the existence of moral laws as evidence that God exists, the moral argument concludes that without God, there can be no morality. By extension, if there is no God, nothing is off-limits and “anything goes.” The moral argument can be expressed as follows: • Premise 1: If God does not exist, then objective moral values and duties do not exist. • Premise 2: Objective moral values and duties do exist. • Conclusion: Therefore, God exists. This argument implies God

finds a reason to believe. They look for rational proofs of God’s existence. Three well known rational arguments for the existence of God are Ontological, Cosmological, Teleological. The Ontological argument says that the idea of God is justice for his existence. The Cosmological argument requires reason and experience to prove God, and that you can’t have something created from nothing. The Teleological theory argues the existence of God from the idea of intelligent design. Irrational faith says

my childhood where I asked questions like "what is the last number in the world?", or "who is God's mom?", and getting the answer, "infinity", or "he is his own mom", was beyond my understanding. However, the three different arguments for God's existence are not beyond my understanding and although I agree in some measure, these arguments can be easily grasped. Cosmological, teleological, and ontological arguments can be summarized as: because "this", God exists. Cosmological arguments state that

did not know what would happen, he is not omnipotent and couldn’t prevent evil, or he does not exist. This research paper will discuss the three arguments for the existence of God: The Cosmological Argument, The Syllogism Argument, and The Moral argument. The Cosmological Argument, whatever begins to exist has a cause of existence, is the basis of natural and social sciences. Why did the bone break? What caused the Great Depression? The cosmos began to exist. Therefore

There are many different perspectives on whether God exists or not, and each of these are reasonable arguments for or against God’s existence. In this essay, I will outline my beliefs, the beliefs of religious people and my personal experience. Despite the fact that I’m not religious (as in, I don’t go to church), I was still brought up to believe in God. I can’t think of any other reason why everything is as it is – the complexity of our planet points to a designer with immense power. The size of

1. Forms: In my interpretation , Plato indicates “Forms” as an existence of “Absolute Truth”. He doesn’t clearly define what “Forms” are, but he believes that “Forms” do exist. I personally under some circumstances believe in the existence of “Forms”. For example, during the class, Dr. Haney gave an example about the definition of “Largeness”. He mentions that each individual has his own definition of largeness, and this definition is unique for each person. Thus, all together, the “Largeness”, according

Ever since philosophy existed, the topic of God existence was one of the main discussion philosophers’ questions. Questions like do we have good reason to believe in God? If God is real why do bad things happen to good people? Or why is there evil in the world if God is all powerful. Our society is driven to find a clear answer to such questions. I believe all of these questions are important for religious people to ask. These questions help a person understand and fine reasons for his or her faith

Blackburn is right to claim that the existence of evil strongly suggests that there does not exist a god who is all-good, all-knowing and all-powerful. Blackburn’s claim is created out of his beliefs mixed in with the ideas of other minds, in order to come to the conclusion that there does not exist a god who is AAA. Blackburn’s claim is solidified by the “problem of evil” which logically counters the idea of an AAA God. The PoE is a clear defense to the idea of a God, since logically speaking
