eople who are holding this view regards God as a mere symbol and this symbol stands for some universal power. They are refusing to accept God as personal. Their view is if God created man in his image, now man is repeating the same thing by creating God in his image.
2.3 Total belief of the existence of God
This view strongly believes in the entire existence of God and it is called as "theism." Theism believes in a God who is both transcendent and immanent. They regard God as an absolute personal being of infinite perfections. They do not believe in personal or finite God. They believe that an impersonal God cannot satisfy the needs of the humans.
Reason is a intellectual faculty by which conclusions are drawn from the premises. Reason is relative to truth. It means all the truths can be understood by reson, discovered by human reason to be true and proved logically, without any premises assumed by faith in divine revelation. According to Norman Geisler, "...if reason can aid in assuring persons that there is a God to fulfill that need, so much the better." So let us see some of the arguments for the proof of the existence of God.
4. Arguments for the theistic proofs
There are three major methods or approaches to theistic proofs which is commonly in use. They are the Classical approach, the evidential approach, and the moral approach. Let us see their arguments one by one briefly.
It is important to study this classical method because most of the secular philosophies take only this method for their argument. This method uses "natural theology" in order to prove theism as the correct view.
In this classical method there are three classical arguments for the existence of God. That is the ontological argument, teleological argument and cosmological argument.
The Ontological arguments are constructed of "self-evident" concepts. This arguments use only mind and the logic. The defects of hum...
