God Exists.

To start with, I would like to state that it is true that he burden of proof is indeed on the believer to objectively prove God exists. Because the existence of God is not "a priori" knowledge, I must prove that God exists in order to know he exists. Before I can even present my arguments I must define what/who God is. I will be arguing for the existence of God in general, I will not be specifically arguing for any God in particular. God is defined as "the perfect being which possesses all perfect attributes". These attributes are as follows: One - God is one being Unchanging - He cannot change his mind/ His will is perfect Eternal - God exists outside of time so he has always existed and will always exist (I know that phraseology is using terms that describe time, but because we are within space-time, we cannot fully comprehend what this would be like, we cannot experience no time) Infinite - Limitless/ Endless, God has no spacial constraints, he exists outside of space Omnipotent - All powerful, able to do all things that are possible Omniscient - All knowing, God knows everything always(I know this implies time, once again only way I can describe it) Perfect - Absolute, complete, God has no flaws or faults. Now that we have defined God, I can present my arguments for his existence. There are many philosophical arguments for God's existence. And while I believe that most of them are irrefutable, I would like to present only 3, so as to not cram all the arguments into this one debate. My "proofs" for the existence of God are as follows: 1) The Ontological Argument 1 God is the most perfect being. 2 It is more perfect to exist than to not exist. 3 If God lacked existence then God would not be God. 4 Thus to understand 'God' is to understand that God must exist. 5 To deny that God exists is a contradiction. 6 Therefore God exists by necessity. 2) Argument of Contingency (First Cause) 1 Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence other than itself (i. e. contingent beings) 2 The universe began to exist. (The universe is contingent) 3 Therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence other than itself. 4 The cause of the universe must be a necessary being (i. e. , a being that is not caused, it is eternal, has always existed and will always exist) and not a contingent being because of that would lead to an infinite regress. 5 This being must be God because he is the necessary being. 6 Therefore, God exists. A small argument for why God cannot have a creator. 1 God cannot have a cause because he would then be a contingent being. 2 God is not a contingent being God did not begin to exist. 3 Therefore, God is a necessary being. 3) The Argument from the culmination of St. Thomas Aquinas's works 1 One cannot deny one's own existence. 2 There is at least one thing that exists - you. 3 The act of being(existing) must itself exist. 4 The nature of existence is actuality. ("actuality - really existing" v. "potentiality - could potentially exist") 5 Esse (Existence) is nothing but pure actuality. 6 Esse not only does exist but must exist. 7 Esse is distinct from everything else that exists. 8 Esse must be one. 9 Esse must be immutable. 10 Esse must be eternal. 11 Esse must be infinite. 12 Esse must be omniscient. 13 Esse must be omnipotent. 14 Esse is God. This is not actually the argument, these are just the points of the argument. I cannot possibly write all of it here so I have provided a link: . https://www.catholic.com...
