The Biblical God exist and is Morally justified!

. (`;') I was called to defend my belief in my principles and that is what I am going to do. Resolved By Pro: The Biblical God exist and is Morally justified! Opening- To actually win here I must provide that God is in fact an actual being; or I must achieve the basic needs of God's existence. I also must provide that God's moral is founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct. That God expresses or conveys in truths or has right conduct. As I will defend or uphold both as warranted and give a well-grounded reason. Points Contending For= Contention I : God's Existence- Common challengers of believers in God, say that God is nothing more than made-up or a illusion. He is a escape from reality to help us through life. I agree that religion is a made up dream of the human mind. Though God Himself is not. This is why most give truth or false to a belief based on its source. Just because you was taught math by a mentally challenged person does not mean what you learned was any less true. Just because there are no empirical signs to a non-believer about God does not mean He is not real. This is again asserting that believers that experience God have distinct mental disorders. I am quite sure a perfectly sane person is able to discern the difference between random noises and/or talking to themselves from the difference of the God they experience. My opponent has not provided one link between mental disorders and revelations of God. So why should we accept such theories? A. The "nothing is caused by itself" argument. The big bang had no scientifically identifiable cause, and since the big bang represents when the universe came into being, it is unlikely that there ever will be a scientifically identifiable cause. There by only option relying on the theory that something has to be in existence to cause something to exist. And if there is a cause that made things exist then only theist have the best explanation for that cause- God. B. Maximum Goodness. To determine whether there is a Maximum Goodness then we should look around and see if there are a wide variety of good acts opposed to not so good acts. We should also factor in those who seemingly always do good acts compared to people who seemingly always do not do good acts. We must agree in society we strive to be viewed as respectable to most our peers. Striving towards something means there is a higher road (which you are striving) and a lower road(which you are leaving. ) So it is only logical to assume that there is a Maximum Goodness and Maximum Badness rather than secluded to one road for all because we know there are variety of roads from both spectrum's and in between. Which leads us to what's at the end of that higher road- God. C. The teleological argument (argument from design). It is very easy to see that many things have a certain order about them in life. For a example: The sun comes up ever morning on time, The seasons change every four months (though seems they don't), and law confines our activities. Everything has a design and order about it. People say,"that is just the way things are," and I agree it is the way things just are by a designed effort. Our entire universe by design must function the way it does or earth would suffer and we would not have life. What causes this order and design- God. D. Personnel experience argument. People from all over history believers and non-believers have recorded and been witness to acts called 'miracles. ' How can we brush off theirs valid claims to mental disorders? I myself can acclaim to such acts. When I read my Bible, Pray, or just talk to others about God, alot of times I get overcome with the Holy Ghost, and I know Im quite sane. Though recently it has been played off as mental disorder and cases as these are put behind closed doors and nobody knows about them or cares. Though eye-witnesses and personnel experience of such cases are not as easily brushed off by them personally. Contention II : God is Just- God's character is the highest standard by which any human behavior is measured. God always acts with the requirements of His character as revealed in His law (which is were our law derived from. ) By Him all creatures are given there due. How is He not? Conention III: God's morality- God being the cause of all things coming into being would also display the whole spectrum of morals. Contention IV: Man's Justification- God justified man. God gave man the courage to strife for a greater gain. God bestowed His attributes upon man therefore man is under God's Law. His law is established within his Kingdom and as is so below unto ours. Points Contending Against= Contention I: Spiritual Decay- My opponent mentioned we do not know if spirits exist! That tells me you can not prove they do not. It also means you can not deny all the people who supposedly experienced such things. It makes since that if 'spirits' exist then only people who believe in such can identify with those things. God gives spiritual enrichment. Without God your spirit with wither and decay. Contention II: Moral Decay- Our moral fabric as a society has left us to allow any act as permissible and by freedom rights are given it. Our fabric has been garnished by uninhibited live styles and has been encouraged by younger and younger generations. As generations come and go, less and less will care about good and decent. We are well on our way to a real world of 'survival of the fittest. ' Laws will eventually become useless and then the,'Take and do as you please if you can', attitudes (which is already starting today) will run rampant. Contention III: Physical Decay- We can read the paper and watch the TV and see that the world around us is becoming more and more polluted. We have for 20 years been taught about global warming and its dangers. Our drinking water is becoming less and less drinkable. Where does this type of pollution come from? Mans lack of morality. The lack of this morality towards our world has started to majorally effect it. There are new theories everyday to why our world is becoming so polluted. We wipe-out entire inhabitants that are for other species, some on the brink of extinction. This is man's fault and his lack of morality for earth and life. Abd because of this lack of care and moral attitude for the earth and themselves causes physical decay more rapidly. Contention IV: Lack of knowledge- This should not be any problem to understand. We constantly are learning and therefore do not know all things. That in turn makes it safe to say that we will never know allthings. If we will never know allthings then it is impossible to claim as such. To appear to know how the origin of all life came about is one of those things we will never know. The problem is not that we wont, the problem is science does not want admit it, instead they keep telling us things they could not possible know. This in turn hurts there creditability when other suspious theories come forward. Rebuttals- My opponent talks about assertion, here we see a grand case of it, he asserts to know Jews truely turned to God during the holocaust and denies Hitlers fault in it. Also my opponent asserts that God does not care. My opponent should show reason why God should help a starving girl in Africa when her fellow humans are the ones allowing her to starve. God provides all we need for morality, we as people choose not to be moral and act depraved toward one another. -Classic God must do everything for us fallacy. Closing- We may conclude, then, that we have reason to believe God exists. Thanks to my oppponent!
