The existence of God has been a question since the idea of God was conceived. Descartes tries to prove Gods existence‚ to disprove his Evil demon theory‚ and to show that there is without a doubt something external to ones own existence. He is looking for a definite certainty‚ a foundation for which he can base all of his beliefs and know for a fact that they are true. Descartes overall project is to find a definite certainty on which he can base all his knowledge and beliefs. A foundation that

The Teleological Argument for God There are many theories about how the universe‚ earth‚ and humans came into existence.

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

The Existence of God and Evil The problem of evil has been around since the beginning. How could God allow such suffering of his “chosen people”? God is supposedly all loving (omni-benevolent) and all powerful (omnipotent) and yet He allows His creations to live in a world of danger and pain. Two philosophers this class has discussed pertaining to this problem is B.C. Johnson and John Hick. Johnson provides the theists’ defense of God and he argues them. These include free will‚ moral urgency‚

Pascal says “If there is a God‚ He is infinitely incomprehensible‚ since‚ having neither parts nor limits‚ He has no affinity to us’’ (Pascal‚ 2). Throughout Pascal’s argument he makes the constant notion believing in order to gain finite happiness‚ how is it possible to know if God is willing to provide this infinite gain if he is infinitely incomprehensible? This critical mistake is the very reason Pascal’s argument doesn’t work‚ we just don’t have the knowledge to know about what truly happens
