Exploring Evidence to Prove the Existence of God

There are many arguments that Christians could put forward to prove or

question the existence of God. Why are we here? What is the purpose of

our existence?

Thomas Aquinas, who was a catholic theologian. Argued that the

universe is so complex and well designed, it couldn't possibly of

appeared by chance. Nature is very complicated but all fits together

so well there must be a creator. But if this creator so many believe

in is intangible, invisible, scentless, and silent how can we prove

that this God is real?

Even though the God Christians believe in is invisible and traceless

to most, some people claim to have felt gods presence in many

different ways, some hear him talking to them and giving them

guidance, this could happen to a person who has suffered a loss in

their family and has asked for gods help. Some people claim to of had

near death experiences. This is when a person sees Jesus. There are

many people who have written about their own near death experiences.

Others say that god has performed miracles to help them in their

lives. Also many Christians can speak Tongues, a language that is

given from God.

Many would question Gods existence because he wasn't there for them

when they needed his help, if God helps so many people in their lives

then why can't he help everyone? So many bad things happen in our

world, death, suffering, evil, pain, sickness, disease and sadness. If

God sees all that happens to us why does he not help us? God loves us

all the same but he helps some people in their lives but not all. When

a volcano erupts, why doesn't he save the people? Why does he let the

volcano erupt at all?

God is omnipotent, so why can't he make the world a good place for

everyone? God is omni benevolent so why doesn't he stop children from

dying in pain because of shortage of water? We believe god loves every

  • Prove the Existence of God Using Who Has the Idea of God

    In this paper, I will explain how Descartes uses the existence of himself to prove the existence of God. The “idea of God is in my mind” is based on “I think, therefore I am”, so there is a question arises: “do I derive my existence? Why, from myself, or from my parents, or from whatever other things there are that are less perfect than God. For nothing more perfect than God, or even as perfect as God, can be thought or imagined.” (Descartes 32, 48) Descartes investigates his reasons to show that he, his parents and other causes cannot cause the existence of himself.

  • A Philoshpical Approach to Proving the Existence of God

    4011 Words  | 9 Pages

    The question of God’s existence has been debated through the history of man, with every philosopher from Socrates to Immanuel Kant weighing in on the debate. So great has this topic become that numerous proofs have been invented and utilized to prove or disprove God’s existence. Yet no answer still has been reached, leaving me to wonder if any answer at all is possible. So I will try in this paper to see if it is possible to philosophically prove God’s existence.

  • The Existence of God Being Proved A Priori

    314 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Existence of God Being Proved A Priori The existence of God can be proved a priori by a logical deduction from the concept of God, when we think about the idea of God we realise that real existence is an essential part of how we conceive the idea of God. God therefore necessarily exists so that it is impossible for him to not exist. I belive to be necessary to examine Anselm's version of the ontological argument, in order to answer the above question, namely whether God's existence can be proved a priori. Anselm states that a non believing fool (in the Psalms) can coceive the idea that God is 'a being than which none greater can be thought' because he understands it.

    Truth, what is truth? This question itself has a thousand answers, no person can ever be sure of what truth is rather, truth can be justified, it can checked for reliability with strong evidences and logic. If the evidence proves to be accurate then it can be established that a certain answer is the truth. However, have we ever tried to think about what intrigues us to seek the truth? To think about a question and set foot firmly on the path of knowledge. Definitely it has! That was the very cause itself which is why this world has witnessed some of the greatest philosophers like Aristotle, Plato and Socrates etc. along with the school of thought. The ability to think and reason is one of the greatest ability humans have, it is what distinguishes us from the animals. It is what gives us free will, the ability to control our own outcomes. However, it is that ability to ‘think’ itself which has caused men to rebel with the myths and statements established about the unseen and natural forces since the beginning of time. It gave rise to questions such as: Do aliens exist? Is there a world of the unseen? Life after Death and the most popular question since the beginning of times, Does God exists? And the answer is ‘yes’. Here is how I will justify my stance.

  • The Design Argument For The Existence Of God

    The Design Argument For The Existence Of God This argument is also called the teleological argument, it argues that the universe did not come around by mere chance, but some one or something designed it. This thing was God. This argument is a prosteriori because the observation of the natural world is taken into the mind to conclude that there is a designer. The belief that the universe was designed by God was triggered by things like the four seasons; summer, spring, autumn and winter, that change through the year.

    Instinctually, humans know that there is a greater power in the universe. However, there are a few who doubt such instinct, citing that logically we cannot prove such an existence. St. Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologica, wrote of five proofs for the existence of God. The Summa Theologica deals with pure concepts; these proofs rely on the world of experience - what one can see around themselves. In these proofs, God will logically be proven to exist through reason, despite the refutes against them.

There are many people that do not believe in any religion. People who do not believe in a religion have no reason for believing in a God. People who do not believe in a God and argue against the existence of God are proving something that is completely false. There is a God for numerous reasons.
