Does God Exist? The question “Does God exist?” is an extremely expansive and immense topic that has been debated for centuries. This question has plagued mankind since we began to think logically. It is difficult to say whether there may or may not be a god‚ or even many gods‚ as we have limited knowledge regarding this issue.

The argument from unbelief aims to show that God cannot exist given the widespread disbelief in God.

An omniscient being would know how to ensure everyone believes in his existence. An omnipotent being would have the power to ensure everyone believes in his existence. And finally‚ an omnibenevolent being would want to ensure everyone believes in his existence. Now‚ if God would

Does God Exists? Ontological argument solely relies on purely logical inferences‚ rather than verifiable evidence. According to the premises supported by the argument‚ we can conclude that the claim God does exist can be conceived‚ but it was rather presented with assuage the doubts than to convince the skeptics.

Does God Exist ? 1. What role do arguments play in answering this question? I think arguments have played an important role in analyzing and understanding the depth of this question‚ for mankind.

One possible reason for that inconclusiveness may lie in our intuition and the way‚ humans define God and existence

word refers to a being. That God really exists has remained a quest for man and how man views and accepts God’s existence depends on his intellectual thinking and critical temperaments. Many people‚ even long-time believers‚ want proof of God’s existence. But there is no way to "prove" God’s existence so that everyone is convinced. It is probably better to talk in terms of evidence‚ rather than proof. The evidence gives us confidence that God exists and is the sort of being the Bible describes

karma is a real‚ active force of nature. For example‚ say that you plan to cheat on a test and tell your friends about it. They might say "don’t do that‚ karma will bite you in the butt."
