Does God exist!
God is the infinite and perfect spirit in whom all things have their source, support and end. He is a person, which means He thinks, feels, and acts. He is spiritual in that His essence is spirit, not material. Holy bible writers speak of God's hands, eyes, ect. in order to communicate His ability and activity. These are "anthropomorphisms" and are not meant to be talked as literal appendages of God. According to Aquinas, God is a person who is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omni benevolent (entirely good). A personal quotes of exactly how I feel about my religion. "Since I was born into Lutheran religion my family/church friends has opened my eyes to a different way of being in relations to my religion. As a Lutheran one is brought up believing that there is some high spirit other than our selves and the reason for us being here because of God. God is the creator of everything that exists today. Many people question that God exists because what one is taught, what one takes in, and how society makes it out to be." To some people religion is just like eating and breathing, it is something people really live by.
For example, with force an object would be able to move, but how is the force moving? This force is moving from the initial force, which is believed to be God. For example the unexplained must have a cause. Therefore, there is an entity outside of nature (a supernatural being), which causes the first event that occurs in the natural world. The only way for something that is potentially hot to become hot is for it to be affected by something that is actually hot. Ontology helps with explanation of certain things prevalent in today's society. It is false that God exists only in the understanding. Newton was trying to prove that there is no one force that controls all occurrences. When something that is cold becomes hot, one would not ordinarily say that it has been moved. There are many things on this world that are unexplained; however people can believe that God has His own part in the unexplained. However, Aquinas does say this, which forces us to read Aquinas's talk of motion and being moved as talk of change or alteration of any sort. Not one thing can move on it own; its needs to be moved by another moving force, thus beginning the cycle. Though, it has been said that weather does deal with the motions, movements, and fronts of the wind. The idea that if an object is in motion, it must be caused to move by something other than itself, for it comes from physics.
