crcation are get involved in the disaster, which is due to the relationship between God and man.
Why is it that we as human beings feel the need to blame someone for every negative situation, which occurs? If we really look at the situation with any great depth, we may discover that an almost endless amount of things may be 'blamed' for the tragedy blaming an individual is pointless - only fate can really be blamed.
He further elaborates the topic by speaking on the idea that God is a Necessary being who has no cause but He is the cause of everything and He is the one who sustained this universe. In conclusion of the chapter, Rachels stated that idea of the existence of God will always remain in the contemplations of religious people and arguments used in this chapter needs more convincing evidence to prove the existence of God in this Universe. The chapter commenced by the most thought-provoking argument that “Is it Reasonable to Believe in God?”. The author to explicit this argument gives the result of Gallop polls and the polls conducted by Pew research center, which indicates that the underdeveloped countries are more religious than the developed countries and specifically in United states only 56% of the people consider religion as the most important part of their lives. Furthermore, the author discussed that no one detects the God existence by ordinary means, however, some people can have the sensation that God is somewhere around them no matter if they cannot see, heard or touch Him.

The two concepts of the problem of evil in the world have been a subject of much debate, with diverse views regarding the role of God in the occurrence of events and actions that causes human beings to suffer. Thus, while there is a total agreement between Malebranche and Leibniz regarding the role of God in creating the world, where both agrees that God did justice in creating the world, there has been a disparity in their view regarding the role of God in the occurrence of actions and events that causes human beings to suffer. Thus, Malebranche advances the theory of occasionalism, which holds that God is the only causal agent in the world, and is therefore responsible for all the evil that happens in the world, because God’s creatures do not have significant causal abilities upon which to act (Brown, 82). Therefore, according to Malebranche, the acts of h...
Throughout our course we have read and considered many ideas, however for the duration of this paper I will focus on two core ideas. These are the ideas that God is the first efficient cause and whether God is good. For the duration of this paper I will look at Aquinas’s five ways, Hume’s refutation of God being the efficient cause. Also Dostoevsky’s and Hume’s explanation that God is not good because of the abundance of pain. Throughout the class what I have come to learn and was most impacted by is that God is not what we prescribe him to be in our different religions. Also the arguments that always stood out for me were the arguments of Hume and his skepticism. It is my goal through this paper to explain that God is not the entity
without the proof of the fact. But on the other hand, God’s existence can not be. proved in terms of objective arguments and scientific facts. In answer to the question, God’s existence cannot be proved, but neither can his.
Since the beginning of the intellectual development of mankind, the question of whether there is god or not has been a question that still remains. However, its effects on our way of thinking has been shaped by a number of people, thinkers, priests, scientists so on and so forth. If we were to divide that continuum into two parts, they would be before the enlightenment and after the enlightenment. Namely the times of natural philosophy and times of science since the term produced after the mid eighteenths. Before the enlightenment religion was the core, center pillar of natural philosophy when the medieval Europe was thought. Nevertheless, after that era the religion was secluded from the “science” in a way that it may have affected the processes but it did not have such condition that could alter the methodology of thinking and contemplating.

From the conqueror Genghis Khan to the conquering Roman Empire, from the discovery of America to the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and from World War I to the attack on the Twin Towers, international events have changed the course of history. However, the most significant change in history which directly affected every historical event following it is the Fall found in Genesis 3. The spirit of man being under his mind, will, and emotions, separation from God, the need of a Savior, Satan becoming the enemy of mankind, pain in child birth, a hierarchy in marital status, cursed ground, hard work for sustenance, and death - these are the effects caused by the Fall which directly influence mankind.
The pervasive problem of evil in the world has pleagued the Christian faith that proclaim God as a good and perfect God. There has been a need for theist to address this issues as a disclaimer for those that use evil as an reason to disprove that God could be good, perfect or even exist. Therefore, theist theologians and philosophers have turned to theodicies to attempt to explain the problem of evil. Theodicy is an attempt to explain why God permits evil in the world. This essay will show the historical approach to theodicy, the opposition to said theodicies and why theodicies could still play an important role today.
There are many times throughout the book that I believe they are directed toward God or the supernatural. For example, as the father and son are on their journey on the road they get 'lucky' quit a few times. When they were starving they found a house full of food and later on found a flare gun and blankets. Each of these times that they seemed to get 'lucky', I believe that they were miracles from God. Another thing is when the father found the flare gun on the boat and said that the boat was named "Pajaro de Esperanza" which means bird of hope. In the bible the dove symbolizes a bird of hope and that could have been a sign that they were going to be okay. Something else is when the father is dying and looks at the book it says "He watched
Intellectuals have ventured into other forms of potential evidence; a good example is ‘Newton and the Thumb’: Isaac Newton believed that thumbprints alone proved the existence of God. This is because the design on a person’s thumb is completely unique; nobody else’s thumbprint will be the same. This kind of intricacy and attention to detail Newton said; couldn’t have come about by some freak accident – and must have had a creator. Another example is ‘Paley and the Watch’: William Paley stated that the Earth is like a watch – it has an extremely complex design, and has to have a designer. He said that if you were to throw all the pieces of the watch up in the air, they could never fall into positions that would make the watch work, similarly he said that the Earth could not have come about by some random dispersal of matter, and that it had to have had a designer (just like a watch does). Obviously, both of these statements can be argued for and against, but regardless they are valid suggestions that God does exist.
Common misconceptions about God run rampant. Some believe He sins just as humans do. Others believe he craves the destruction of mankind. However, in reality, a righteous God exists, a Lord who tests His subjects' faith, a Ruler who controls all. People often contest that God holds no power over the earth. However, God's sovereignty remains evident in that countries fall when He decides to disestablish them. The fact that He disciplines the profane and prospers the deserving displays His uprightness. Though afflictions will come, people must persevere and continue to look towards God. Even though life appears hopeless at times, God remains all-powerful. His love for His followers remains everlasting. His control over the earth endures forever.
God’s Existence is a very intense topic.The non-believers believe that mostly science created this world, but are not convinced that people created science. As more and more people start to look for answers to basic life questions like; how were we created? why? how did this world come? why are we who we are? and infinite life question, they’ve found many different answers from different religious perspectives which confuses them. No matter how many proof there is of anything’s existence, it’s the people’s choice whether to believe in it or not, if they decide to believe in what they view proof of, then they become believers, if they decide to deny the proof , they become non-believers , but denying the proof shown of something’s existence does not make it disappear.
