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

Does the void exist? One of the main controversies in Pre-socratic philosophy is the dispute of the existence or non-existence of the void. Two groups of philosophers argue this idea. The first group‚ namely Parmenides‚ argues that the void does not exist. This is the opinion of the Monist philosophers. The other group is the atomists who argue this thesis and believe there is a void. This group is primarily represented by the philosophers‚ Democritus and Leucippus. Parmenides argues against

Does God exist? The question of God’s existence is a perplexing one‚ the only evidence we have of God is what we are told from those who worship him‚ and unknowns can be debated logically if a higher being is in control. It has been written that in the beginning there was man and there was woman‚ and God put the two together to create a new race of beings. We are to assume then that God gave these beings a soul to distinguish them from other beings‚ for example‚ plants. The soul is often argued

Design Argument--Does God exist? I found William Paley’s design argument in The Watch and the Watch-Maker the most compelling and thought provoking because I thought he had an interesting point symbolizing the watch as the universe and the watch-maker as the universe-maker or God. Paley doesn’t give a scientific explanation‚ but instead bases his work on observation and logical thinking unlike Robin Collins’s argument in his work‚ A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God‚ which is supported

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." However‚ I do not agree with them. I believe that karma does not exist because a lot of horrendous things happen to people who have lived a good life. Also‚ if karma were real‚ people would be affected that did not do anything bad. One of the reasons I do not believe in karma is because even though people are relatively

The definition or meaning of race is different depending on the ideas and beliefs within a culture. One important factor in using the term race is to not get it confused with ethnicity or culture. The difficulty that some people have with characterizing ethnicity or culture is that they associate it with race‚ whereas that is

by Onur Yenihayat The Roots of Genocide and Hate Crimes: Innate Evil Does evil exist in the world? Yes‚ it does. Malicious acts like genocide and hate crimes are proof of existence of evil in individuals. The United Nations Convention on Genocide defines genocide as "any of a number of acts committed with the intent to destroy‚ in whole or in part‚ a national‚ ethnic‚ racial or religious group‚" either by killing members of the group or imposing conditions that would ultimately lead to the group’s

stained history with their gory senselessness. Forgiveness does not exist. Salvation is fiction. Everything is a lie. I look around with weary boredom. Nothing surprises me anymore. My eyes have slowly peeled open the pretty layers that mask life s true intentions. There is no educational journey in search of spiritual peace. There is no cause worth our passion. Everything was just a fabricated cover up of god in his game with the devil. The definition of life is simple‚ if you’re brave enough

God: Does He Exist? Philosophy is a subject that can take many twists and turns before it finds an answer to a general question (Wippel‚ Wolter 335). God is real to many‚ but not real to others. Some believe that there is sufficient evidence such as the earth. The earth is the perfect size‚ if the earth and the atmosphere were any smaller‚ life on earth would be impossible. Then again‚ because of this idea some believe that the earth was created by a big explosion called the big bang theory which
