God Of The Gaps
السلام علیکم Ok, thank you! I also wanted to know whether then we can argue the existence of God from scratch from such events. That is, if we say that God is the cause of an event, we are already presuming Divine Existence. So, we cannot use an event to prove the existence of God, right? That would be a circular argument.
No we don’t argue for the existence of God from any events. The existence of God is self-evident for anyone who’s willing to reflect upon their own self and the universe around them. In science we look at matter, determine how it functions under different conditions, and then draw ‘necessary’ logical inferences based upon our observations. At a very high level, when we look at this universe as a whole, all the natural laws and how they work with such mathematical precision, the undeniable harmony among all the systems within this universe in order to support life, all the aesthetics of this universe, and our own faculty to distinguish right from wrong, our observations leads to a ‘necessary’ logical inference that this universe is created by an extraordinarily intelligent and resourceful agent – God.
