Topic > The Existence of God's Existence - 1259

The existence of God has been an ongoing question to which almost everyone has sought an answer. Back when the idea of ​​God was at the center of everyone's conversation, philosophers/scientists started discussing the existence of God and what he was like. With little knowledge and evidence to study whether God was real or not, people came to realize that after years and years there wasn't enough to justify either side, which is why one should keep an open mind on topics like this. Our minds are still developing and there are such complex things out there that we hope to one day find a definitive answer for. There will be objections that discuss why other philosophers do not believe in the idea of ​​a God. There are still people today who are theists, atheists, and agnostics, but right now we will focus on the philosophers and their writings that demonstrate that the existence of God is legitimate and one of the greatest philosophers who will focus on this is St. Peter. Thomas Aquinas and other philosophers with the same beliefs. The existence of God is obviously the first argument that arises, if we still haven't found any evidence to justify the existence of God, why do people still believe there is one? Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was a famous philosopher who countered this question by applying the burden of proof using the teapot analogy. To summarize, the teapot analogy is that somewhere in space there is a teapot that causes gravity. The teapot is “Too small to be seen, too small to have its own gravity, older than the universe itself, it is responsible for the existence of gravity” (Philosophical Content 5). When you apply this to the concept of the existence of God, it ends up being exactly the same idea... middle of paper... something that may not be there, which Pascal Wager comes to the defense of and talks about the benefits there are to living the life as if it existed versus if it didn't exist. Then God's ability to be unable to deal with the existence of evil in the world is questioned, which is supported by him giving us free will and moral choice. Finally they support the idea that everything has an exact cause and if that exact cause has not yet been identified, it is probably because it caused itself. Which is opposed by the cosmological argument according to which everything is summed up in the fact that God is that creator. God created the universe and everything in it for a reason. We rely on each other, learn from mistakes, grow and advance in so many ways. Every single person and thing created on this earth was put there for a reason, so there is no way the universe created itself..
