Is God real is a question that has been asked for many years. This is controversial topic that is discussed daily. Whether you are religious or do not believe that there is a higher power at all is simply up to you. However, I do believe that God is real. Philosophers such as Paley, Hume, Hegel, and Kant have played the central role of development of philosophy of religion. Late medieval to early modern time philosophers had dabbled with the concept of God. A lot of these philosophers used human reason to figure out God. These philosophers all support the claim that God is in fact real for there own moral reasoning. Nonetheless, most of their reasonings are true as far as Earth’s creation. As a believer, our most basic religious belief is …show more content…
There are unexplainable things on Earth and scientist are still trying to figure these things out. In spite of that, some people still want to believe that these things were just here before us. Moreover, if these things were just here we as a human race, being the smartest species should have already figured everything out, but we have yet to complete the task of figuring the world out. Furthermore, there are large amounts of the world that have not even been discovered. Everything has an origin in this world. Scientist say everything was made from bacteria of some sort considering they were supposedly the first living organism on Earth. It makes little to no sense at all to say then entire world derived from bacteria. Moreover, others may say we evolved from evolution which bacteria could have initially been apart of, but there are things and features of the Earth that even evolution cannot take credit for. Paley argued, “The universe exhibits the same order, complexity, and purpose and so it can be seen to have been produced by a Creator” (Paley, 60). There is no protest to this argument, he is absolutely
Whether god exists or not has been in discussion for thousands of years, and an important discussion. Whether it is rational to believe in god or not is another story, like believing in god itself, this topic has brought many discussions. It is one thing to discuss whether god is real or not and it is a complete other to discuss whether it is rational to believe in god or not. I believe that while there may not be any convincing evidence or arguments that God does exist, I do still believe that it is still rational to believe that god does exist. I think this because, believing in God is not simply just believing that he exists, but believing that it can bring good to our lives, we otherwise would not have. It teaches us to have a moral responsibility not only to others, but ourselves. It is obvious that many people do believe in god, but many of us choose to do so for reasons other than just believing in God. I do believe that just because there is no evidence, that does not mean God doesn’t exist. Like I said, God brings more to our lives than just a belief, but an ability to achieve a better one. And even if God is just an imaginary figure, he is an imaginary figure that brings hope and goodness to our lives, which we can never discount.
Proper Theology looks at the different aspects of God, one major thing is proof of his existence. I see in lots of people looking for answers asking the question “is God real?”. I believe he is but others maybe not so much. I rely on faith when others rely on science to prove existence.
The epic poem, Beowulf, a work of fiction, offers more insight into Ancient Anglo-Saxon English culture than the work of Bede, who wrote, A History of the English Church and People. The epic poem Beowulf gives an enhanced illustration and clearer understanding of the culture of the Ancient Anglo-Saxon’s. The epic poem gives the audience a picture of what the Ancient Anglo-Saxon English valued; seafaring, warriors, heroes, and paganism.
God is not real and does not exist. There many reasons why god cannot exist. Many people believe that God does exist but those are just beliefs, there is no real evidence that God exists. People try to prove that god exists with the Bible; however we don’t now that the bible is the truth. In many ways, people believe that God is a person, but science has proven that there is a particle that must’ve created everything. This particle is known as the God particle. Although science has proven that some form of God created everything, the Christian churches and Muslim religion refuse to accept this as fact.
The point and purpose was to promote the great nation of the United States, and
Every person has wondered about something - whether it be a person, place, thing, law, or anything that someone can think about. They ask questions both rhetorical and actual to themselves, and usually make it a mission to answer these questions. Some of the biggest questions have something to do with culture and religion. One of the most major questions of all time - to what extent does an individual have control over the outcome of his or her life? There are many different opinions on this topic.
The factual nature of God (given that He exists as the First Cause) is at all times argued by most Christians. Moreover numerous questions arise on the nature of God. We all know that, at some point we will actually die; yet, we consistently refuse the causes operating within ourselves that looks into the real result of what comes after a person loses his or her life. It is far simpler for humankind to agree that, they will depart to a secure home in Heaven and will be pardoned all their sins by a supreme being, rather than to query on the existence of the extremely all-powerful being. Luckily, some of us usually query this existence and the development of humankind; in addition to, the spiritual lessons obtained from our mothers and fathers, community and religion. This essay investigates the two logical justifications for and against the nature of God; in accordance to opinions of some exceptional researchers and philosophers. Through two classical arguments for God; the ontological argument and the teleological argument, I will show that there is no adequate evidence or extensive justifications for the true nature of God.
““Well, they had a point. You are fat and disgusting!” The therapist announced. Patricia was sobbing, eyes red and nose runny...“Come on… Let’s go. We aren’t putting up with that!” her father...opened the door and ushered the family through. The therapist just observed and no more was heard from him…[Her nervous breakdown] was a result of long term bullying leading to an episode of being run out of school by a gang of boys. They threatened to kill her with a crowbar, sticks and wooden planks. She felt like a hunted fox” (shazwellyn.hubpages.com). No matter how hard a parent might try to help their child, whether they’re being bullied or are the bully, the consequences should not fall on the people who raise them because the victims have to do what they can to make up for what they’ve done or what they’ve suffered. The city of Monona, Wisconsin has proposed a new law that tickets and fines the parents for failing to respond properly to their child’s poor behavior. A behavioral and personal change consulting specialist, Mr. Michael Harmann, hypothesized that bullying behavior is typically an effort to cover up the bully's own vulnerability. It's a primitive mindset that wants to make you pay when you show vulnerability and since bullying mostly occurs under the legal age, that’s enough to say that higher levels of authority don’t have control over the thoughts and actions that bullies use as an outlet for their own pain because it goes against the Constitution. The key to helping the children we feel so sorry for is to heal the bully before he turns into a monster and the only way to help the perpetrator is to make him face his motivation to bully. “If you think about it, a great strategy to avoid being rejected is to reject everyon...
What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
“The greatest mystery of existence is existence itself” (Chopra). Chopra, a world-renowned author, perceives the existence of life as a truly mystifying cerebration. The pending question that many scientist, and even theists, attempt to answer is how life ultimately began. Currently, the mystery is left with two propositions, evolution and creation. While both approaches attempt to answer the origins of life, evolution and creation are two contrasting concepts. Evolution views life to be a process by which organisms diversified from earlier forms whereas creation illustrates that life was created by a supernatural being. Creation and evolution both agree on the existence of microevolution and the resemblance of apes and humans but vary in terms of interpreting the origins of the life through a historical standpoint. A concept known as Faith Vs Fact comprehensively summarizes the tone of this debate, which leads the question of how life began.
God can be defined as a being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions (1). 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.
One of the most common misconceptions about atheism is that it is determined by a personal belief. People mistakenly attribute a position founded in theological knowledge to be a product of ‘believing’ something, which would be entirely contradictory. In order to clear up the misunderstanding, you have to fully understand atheism at its core. We must also have a sober understanding of the things that distinguish atheism from the other two theological positions: theism and agnosticism. Once we make clear exactly how the three theological positions are mutually exclusive, we will be much more properly equipped to form a full and correct definition of atheism.
Just about every individual wonders if the universe was created and how it was created. The Bible begins with the words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There are many people in the world who do not believe that statement. It has been 150 years since Charles Darwin published his theory and challenged the whole world what they believed. This argument is still one of the biggest controversial issues around the world. This issue separates political groups, religions, and even many schools. This is such an argument because there is no absolutely proven answer. Although there are several ideas, people mainly argue over two of them. Creationism and Evolution are the most controversial in today’s society. Both Evolutionists
Evolution Vs Creation Whether you believe in God or not, we all know that we came from somewhere. The real question is from where? Since we all have different minds and opinions on how we came to be, it will be hard to make someone believe exactly what you think or believe. I believe in creation.
Religion should not make people feel as if they are forced to live a certain way, but it should be used as a way of thinking/deciding between right and wrong. No one is perfect and no one knows everything. That is why with religion, we are able to understand more than what is known. How does religion, work? “Starting with magic and religion, which views the world simply as an extension of the human mind, we eventually reach the age of science, in which we view the world as being ruled by universal laws” (Grey 1). This explains how and why science can easily replace religion. Religion for many people is a great support system for the disadvantaged, especially for those who are going through a lot in life. Not only that, but when people are
