Existence of a god

The existence of God is the ultimate question anyone can ask. All the meaning of life comes from God. If God does exist and we do not know it, we are not living. All life comes from God and not knowing Him would be not knowing life itself. I am Christian, so you will be getting the Christian point of view on this subject. I must also say that I believe this to be the only correct point of view. This is, if God does exist, then He is an objective being. In other words, God is not the imagination or creation of different people. The God I believe is the creator of universe and the source of morality. Now that I have stated which God I will be defending the existence, I will proceed. The burden of proof also lies with you, for you are taking an affirmative action in saying: "there is a lack of evidence. " Or in other words, no one can know if God exists. You must explain why there is no evidence, because that is a very controversial claim. ---------- Evidence - "that which tends to prove or disprove something; ground for belief; proof. " [1] You say there is no evidence for the existence of God. I am the first to say that I cannot by any means write an article that by itself completely proves the existence of a deity, much less the specific Christian deity. However, I would like you to think of how much belief you have in aspects of your life, that lacks the proof to back it. Imagine, you have a mother, father or wife. Now I would ask you to prove, that one of those people love you. This proof must be undeniable, 100% accurate, without room for doubt. This type of evidence doesn"t come about so easily. Now try living your life only believing in things that you have 100% certainty on. Only a computer "lives" that "life". No emotion, no faith. We can hardly say that it truly lives. So, if you want to live this life of absolute evidence go ahead. Make sure you know that the floor under won"t disappear from under you. Hopefully you are not talking about absolute evidence. I assume you are not expecting a complete proof for the existence of God (especially with only 5000 characters. ) If you do want that type of evidence then I don"t mind taking the debate there. Now on to what matters. I believe that there are some arguments that although they don"t leave you with no room to deny the existence of God, they are compelling. 1)The cosmological argument. 1. The universe exists. 2. It could not be the cause of itself. 3. It could not come from nothing. 4. It could not be an effect in an infinite series of causes and effects. If these four premises are true, then we can infer that God Exists. In this argument, the first premise is self-evident. Hopefully we both agree on that. Now the next three premises are potential causes of the universe, leaving the only other possibility to be God, or a new cause that you can come up with. This is the nature of the argument. Now if you agree with these three premises you can skip the next paragraph otherwise I will explain them to you. Firstly, the universe cannot be the cause of itself. The effect must always come after the cause. If the universe was created by the universe, then it would have existed before existed. This is impossible and just a loop of contradiction. Secondly, ex nihilo, nihil fit. "From nothing, nothing comes. " 0*x =0, where "x" is any real number. Thirdly, it could not be an effect in an infinite series of causes and effects. If it were, then we would never reach the conclusion, which is the universe. 0*infinity =CONTRADICTION. If you want to debate any of these premises, I will be happy to. It is important to note that the cosmological argument does not argue for a creator, it argues for a cause. My claim is that a Creator is a good cause. There are many other arguments for a God. There are also many arguments for no God. But you can"t say there are no evidences. What you could defend is that the evidences for and against are equal. I also believe that the evidences are not equal, but it is safer. ---------- Thank you again I hope you understand everything I said. [1] dictionary. com
