Does God Exist??
In my life on this planet I have come to question many things that many take on as blind faith. We all know that someday we will 'physically' die, Yet, we continuously deny the forces working inside ourselves which want to search out the true outcome of what may or may not come after death. It's far easier for humanity to accept that they will go on to a safe haven and be forgiven for all, rather than to question the existence of a super omnipotent being. Fortunately, there are some of us who tend to question the why's and how's that come before us. We question the creation of humanity and the religious teachings received from our parents, our church and our society. This paper examines the many rational arguments for and against the existence of God. It is based on the views of some of the great philosophers and scientists of our world. I will show that there is no sufficient proof or comprehensive arguments for the existence of God. Some people search for eternal peace throu!gh the beliefs in God; but this is an impossible belief because of the chances, the plausibility, and because of science. ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS God generally refers to one supreme, holy, personal being,. The divine unity of ultimate good-ness and of ulti
" He continues to state that a fool would say that the concept of this being's existence is only in his mind and in the mind of others but not in reality.

He began his argument by saying that even a fool can grasp or understand the concept of "a being than of which nothing greater can be conceived. Given an infinite amount of matter in the u!niverse, it is proven that the probability of the atoms that make up this universe as we know it to be with an infinite amount of time is almost a 100% certain to take place. (Dawkins) We as humans don't know very much about the universe as is, so to think we can make definite predictions about any particular cause and effect base!d on previous experience is senseless because even that previous experience is vaguely known. It is called the posterior approach. William Paley continued the argument of Socrates, Plato, and Aquinas. (Wells) It's also reasonable to imagine the universe to be infinite in space and time with a never ending series or "Big Bangs" which created this present universe. With words like perfect, necessary and existent that are built into it's definition, it seems impossible to be argued with. (cyberpunks) My question is when the wind blows a hat off a person's head, does that person think God was its cause? No!. Hume brought up a valid argument for this concept. It is said that the complex order and design of the universe is obviously the work of an intelligent architect.
