Topic > Theories about the existence of God - 1118

There are many groups of people who have different opinions about God. Does He exist? Doesn't exist? These questions can be discussed with countless theories as to why it exists and how it is not possible that it does not exist or that it does not exist and does not exist. Theists would argue that God exists and that there are good reasons to think that he exists. Agnostics, atheists, and fideists, on the other hand, would argue that there are no good reasons to think that God exists. For some people they have no doubt that God exists. They are convinced by experiences, theories, or simply by their faith, that God exists, while others are not so easily convinced of the existence of a perfect being who creates everything and keeps the world in order. According to people who believe that God exists, God is a perfect being who has these three attributes: omniscience, omnipotence, and omnibenevolence, or omniscient, omnipotent, and completely morally good. But is it really possible that the non-existence of a perfect being exists or is it just a theory without concrete evidence? In “Does God Exist?” Philosopher Ernest Nagel offers three arguments to prove the existence of God. Nagel argues that God exists because there had to be someone or something that kept the universe going. How did all the objects and life forms get here? There had to be someone who put it there, right? According to Nagel, there had to be a “first cause” or “unmoved mover” to keep the universe going and keep it moving. This is known as the cosmological argument. Nagel's second argument, the ontological argument, was that by definition God is a being who is all perfection and his existence is a perfect... middle of paper... a cry, where so many innocent children were killed, because Shouldn't God intervene to protect them? Just because God gave us free will, does that mean He can't intervene in certain situations? If there were an omnipotent and completely morally good God, he would have the power to intervene and reduce the suffering resulting from tragedies like this, which he should want to do because he is presumably morally good. Suffering may be a necessity for human beings, I'm not advocating that, but there is certainly too much suffering and on too large a scale. If God were omnipotent, omniscient, and completely morally good, He could have created life with no evil or limited evil while still allowing free will. This way humans could experience a small amount of suffering and still learn compassion and empathy, the world would be a better place..
