Existence

The Existence of God The philosophical arguments presented in this document are not of religious text, nor scientific observation or established fact. Rather the premise of this God proof is bring together and share the various theories on which other God proofs have established foundations. I have heard it quoted that “Philosophy goes where hard science can 't, or won 't. Philosophers have a license to.” Therefore, with this in mind, I attest that it is more than problematic to construct an

The Existence of God What we call religious experience can differ greatly. Some reports exist of supernatural happenings that it would be difficult to explain from a rational, scientific point of view. On the other hand, there also exist the sorts of testimonies that simply seem to convey a feeling or a peace of oneness- something which most of us, religious or not, may possibly relate to. Firstly, I will consider the nature of an experience. Experience involves

This paves way to question the existence of God, the existence of an omnipotent and omniscient being. Given that the Divine is beyond sensory

that there is no good reason to think that God exists. For some people they have no doubt that God exists. They are convinced by experiences, theories, or just their faith alone, that God exists while others are not so easily convinced on the existence of a perfect being that creates

because we have the concept of perfection instilled in our minds. Earlier in his meditations Descartes states the argument “I think there for I am,” this statement it self proves the we exist and we are beings that think. Everything beyond your own existence is open to debate. The idea of perfectness is completely subjective, the ideas of perfection of a fundamentalist Christian are certainty different the ideals of an Atheist or even Muslim for that matter. I definitely know that the idea of perfection

his second argument for the existence of God. Descartes holds that existence is perfection and so, it can be a predicate for God. I will first explain what is the ontological argument for the existence of God. Next, I will discuss why Descartes decides to bring God into His method of philosophy. I will then try to argue that existence is a perfection and that as a predicate for God, existence reveal certain true about God. Ontological argument tries to prove the existence of God from a priori perspective

Descartes acknowledges the fact that everything he knows so far clearly and distinctly are by God to this he understands that God is not a deceiver anymore from the previous meditations. Since he knows that God is not a deceiver he recognizes clearly and distinctly that one thing without another makes him certain two subjects can be different from one another and be separate as well. As such, he also acknowledges that he exists and that he has the ability to judge although with the knowledge of existing

Russell’s Decisive Refutations of the Existence of God The existence of God is arguably the most discussed and inquisitive subject to been questioned. Many philosophers have dedicated their lives assembling empirical and logical evidence to prove or disprove the existence of God. Bertrand Russell, one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, provides rationality and clarity to this complex issue through his text “Why I Am Not a Christian” (Russell & Rouben Mamoulian Collection (Library

Descartes project of Radical skepticism; what he hopes to achieve by explaining it. Then I will briefly outline some of Descartes arguments. Then I will look at Descartes argument for the existence of God. Finally I will show Descartes explanation for the existence of God. Finally, I will show Descartes proof for the existence of the outside of the world. This will frame the condition of the mind-body problem as we know it today. I. To address the issue of the mind body problem, Descartes starts by presenting

In Summa Theologiae, Aquinas answers the question of whether God exists by stating that there are features in the world that offer proof in favour of God’s existence. In what follows I will suggest that even if we were to accept Aquinas’ cosmological argument, the ambiguous use of the term God is not an adequate justification of his reasoning. In addition, I will touch on the significance of the interaction between the objection and big idea of God in raising philosophical problems. The idea of
