One of the big questions that makes many a philosopher pause and think for quite some time is the ontological question of "Does God Exist?"
             For many years philosophers have questioned the existence of God and many have also tried to prove God's existence. In the Middle Ages it was evident that such a question had to be answered because battles of arguments were waged by medieval philosophers in order to find an answer to the ontological question of "Does God Exist?"

Because God is perfect, he must exist.
             On the other side were the other philosophers who questioned God's existence and were more interested in combining religious ideas with the teaching of the Greek philosophers especially Plato and Aristotle.

             Many philosophers though were able to relate philosophical learning and reasoning with religion in order to prove that God existed.
             Finally, my view point is, to one who questions, denies, tries to prove or even thinks that there exists something of such a nature that nothing greater than it can be imagined (such as God...
