  • Essay / Proof of the existence of God - 1352

    Proof of the existence of GodFrom the diversity of men and creatures on this earth, there has always been a unifying bond. At the root of humanity's existence is the root of all things natural and infinite, an allusion to something supreme and determinate, something incomprehensible; a glimpse of what is real and what is possible. Inspired by wonder, one can easily be surprised by the doubts presented regarding the existence and identity of this driving force. The law of causality rightly states: “Everything that begins to exist must have been brought into existence by something distinct from itself. » Therefore, only something outside the world could have created the world. Logic and natural law can easily prove that this Being is an Almighty God through four different arguments: the cosmological, historical, moral and teleological arguments. The most powerful of these is the teleological argument, which can in itself constitute a pillar of defense against the attacks of doubt. This introduction is wonderfully written! You did a great job! The only thing missing is an explanation of how the four proofs are divided based on our knowledge of the world and our soul.] The cosmological argument, by definition, supports the existence of God through the reasoning that everything must have a cause. If one creation after another is continually caused by something else, eventually everything will be simplified into a single idea or cause. So there must be a first cause, something primary. From this we can learn several things about the cause, namely that it is in itself eternal and self-sufficient. It is completely illogical to believe that this ordered world was created accidentally. "Nothing comes from nothing", a song from a popular middle of paper...... from this one can firmly believe that there is a God, who is the intelligence, the designer and the creator of the universe. However, even with all these different proofs, one can never fully understand the majesty of God. For non-infinite beings cannot understand an infinite God. The existence of God can be proven by these four arguments, especially the teleological argument, but many attributes of God will never be understood by his creations. For ultimately, faith and trust in the word of God alone can bring souls into complete conformity with the divine plan of the intelligent, existent, supernatural and truly all-powerful God who created the insignificant, the significant and formed the wonderfully created world.
