Mccloskey's Argument For The Existence Of God

For many generations, the topic of the existence of God has been a constant debate, it has many arguments between atheism and theism. This question, along with numerous other questions are important in human philosophy, several people think if you can’t see it or feel it, then it must not be real, while others consider if God exist, then why do bad things happen, why is there so much evil in the world? Everyone has their own beliefs and we can relate in a way that many people, believers and nonbelievers alike are bothered by evil. Atheists and theists similarly think a good being removes evil. I had to prepare myself upon reading this article, I thought about my beliefs and considered evidence that supports my reasons for why I believe

These arguments, try to use the existence of God through the existence of the cosmos or universe. This is often mentioned to as the “first-cause argument” because theists believe that God is the first cause of the existence of the universe. McCloskey finds the cosmological argument implausible, he voices his opinion claiming that “the mere existence of the world constitutes no reason for believing in the existence of such a being . Everything in the universe exists because something caused it to exist. Evans and Manis address this by introducing the non-temporal form to this cosmological argument, this form features parts of the cosmological argument to form reasons for why the universe exists. He also claims that this argument “do not entitle us to postulate an all-powerful uncaused caused”, In my opinion McCloskey should consider the effects of the claim that no necessary being exists as an uncaused cause. Though the cosmological argument does not prove God’s existence it does verify to a necessary being as the only cause that eliminates the need for limitless revert

In which McCloskey rejects it. This argument is like the cosmological argument; it too begins with the existence of the cosmos. It claims that because the world has complex design, this is evidence of a designer. Just as if something is carried then there must be a carrier, so if there is design there must be a designer. McCloskey implies that the evidence and examples for this argument are not genuine and are disputable examples, meaning that they must not be proven wrong and opposes that certain claims are needed and irrational in the clear fact that God cannot be definite. About the teleological argument, “To get the proof going, genuine indisputable examples of design and purpose are needed, first let me state the standard he sets for the supporter of the argument is one he cannot live up to himself, so no I don’t think they are reasonable, I think his “very conclusive objection” is inconclusive. “I believe the argument here is not whether the design in the universe infers that there is someone who designed it, but whether the order and intricacy in the universe does represent design. Throughout this article McCloskey stresses the fact of the existence of evil, he addresses the idea that suffering and evil is contrary to the idea that there is a perfect all powerful God. Why would a perfect person create a world of suffering
