Discussion of the Existence of God

There is a lot of argument about does God exist or not exist. It was

long time every person wanted to prove the existence of God. Some

people argued that God exist and proved by many philosophical theories

or scientific basics and religion reasons. On the other hand, other

people do not believe in God existence and they have based their

proven by many theories and scientific points.

Many people have tried to prove God's existence with rational

argument. Like Aquinas, Abelard, Pascal, Anselm and Paley are a few

that have attempted this. These approaches are of limited helpfulness,

for though we can approach God with our reason and detect him in

nature. More importantly, these logical proofs for God's existence

miss the point.

The design argument is a Christian's view of God's existence that the

world around them shows a pattern and therefore it must have been

created or designed by someone. There are many argument that commonly

used which prove God's existence like, firstly the thumb print by Sir

Issac Newton, 1642-1727, one of the founders of modern, said:" In the

absence of any other proofs, The thumb alone would convince me of

God's existence ". Secondly the watch by William Paley, 1743-1805, he

used the watch to explain why he believed in God, He compared the

watch to the world. There are other arguments that could be used today

to prove God's existence for example the D.N.A.

The universe is based on the impossibility of forming an actual

infinite by successive addition. This argument does not deny the

possibility of the existence of an actual infinite, but the

possibility of its bei...

argument is by Nietzche, which conclude that there is no God. He

argued that God was "dead!" There were no natural laws, and there was

no order. The second argument was by Epicurus, He believed that if

there is a God he should be able to prevent future evil in the world

that God can stop evil and chooses not to stop it.

I think, in my opinion, agree with people who argue in believe of

God's existence. In conclusion, we have seen on the basis of both

philosophical argument and scientific confirmation that it is

plausible that the universe began to exists. Given the intuitively

obvious principle that the universe has a cause of its existence. On

the basis of our argument, this cause would have to do uncaused,

eternal, changeless, timeless, and immaterial. I conclude that it is

rational to believe that God exists.
