Proof of the existence of God Either God exists or he does not exist. There is no middle ground. Any attempt to remain neutral regarding the existence of God is automatically synonymous with disbelief. The question of the existence of God is really important. Does God exist? Theological, cosmological, teleological, and ontological arguments are all ways of proving the existence of God. With all these great arguments, how can we deny the existence of God? There is a God and with these reasons I will prove it. There are two types of theology discussed in Kessler's chapter nine "The Voices of Wisdom", revealed theology and natural theology. Revealed theology comes from sources such as the Bible and, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, gives us the knowledge necessary for our salvation. Natural theology supports my argument at a level where someone who doesn't believe in God can understand it better. This type of theology defines the nature of God and ensures his existence. Saint Thomas tells us that natural theology does not give us saving knowledge, because even if you know that God exists does not mean that you have salvation. Saint Thomas gave the example that even devils know that God exists. All my arguments provided are philosophical theology or natural theology. For my first basis for the existence of God, I will use the a posteriori ontological arguments. Ontological arguments are a priori which show that God exists without appealing to sensory experience. These ontological arguments debate what God is and where he comes from. Saint Anselm, the creator of the ontological argument, based his theory on the fact that we cannot think of anything greater than God. Therefore, God must exist, why you might ask? If the greatest thing we can conceive of does not exist, we can still conceive of the greatest thing that exists, and that would be God. Descartes sees God in the same way as Saint Anselm. Descartes sees God as the perfect being while St. Anselm describes God as “that which nothing greater can be thought of.” In Descartes' "The Argument from Perfection", he reasons that if existence is one of the perfections and God possesses all perfections, then God must exist. Along with these arguments, other members of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic communities hold similar views. Cosmological arguments are... middle of paper ... an epoch did not exist, it has parts that were put together. to form the watch, each of these parts had to be formed and then they were all put together in harmony to form the watch by the watchmaker. On a larger scale, the universe has not always existed; he must have been formed by a greater being, God. Without God, the universe would not exist and the non-existence of the universe is obviously false. He goes on to say that we never saw the watch being made, nor the person who made it, and that we may not be able to make the watch ourselves, but the watch exists. The same can be said of the universe. We may never have seen the universe created, nor the being that created it, and we may not be capable of creating a universe ourselves, but the universe exists. He further asserts in his arguments that even though the watch has no evidence of an ingenious plan, it nevertheless has a motive to make a person think so. This means that even if the universe had no evidence of having been created, it is only apparent that it was created by God for a specific purpose. Thus, through teleological, cosmological and ontological arguments as well as deism and theism.
