Does God Exist? St. Thomas Aquinas has written several important works. Some of them are: The Disputed Questions on the Power of God‚ Exposition of Dionysius on the Divine Names and Disputed Questions on Spiritual Creatures.

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.

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
