Different Arguments and Perspectives: Does God Really Exist?
The mere existence of a greater being, God has been a debate for longer than almost any other scientific in history. We are told that McCloskey refers to arguments as proofs and often implies that they cannot definitively establish the case for God, so therefore they should be abandoned. He says that because these arguments/debates, have no proof he dismisses the term argument and refers to them as “proofs”. McCloskey states that theists do not believe in God because said proofs but rather than as a result of some other significant change in their lives. Because of the fact that we cannot “prove” God exists we should not believe in such an all-powerful being. There are no proofs in Scientific Method’s either. In conducting a scientific method, the goal is not to prove a theory but merely to evidence that a theory has the potential to be correct or incorrect. Does this information mean that science is wrong? There are different proofs such as ontological proofs which carry no weight with the theist. There are three proofs cosmological, teleological, and argument from design. Theism feels there must be a cause or a “creator, someone who brought things into being and hold everything in his hands.” They believe in design and purpose which necessitated the belief in God. He states if you know nothing about evolution it is easy to misconstrue our adaption for the environment as design and purpose. He states theism is a comfortless, spine chilling doctrine. I believe the proofs are needed for a theist. The mere existence of the world constitutes no reason for believing in such a being. The cause of the universe must be necessary because they claimed God is the reason for the existence. All things are contingent, why do they exist? This will be incomplete unless there is necessary being (a being that existence requires no explanation). There are three common objections to the argument. Temporal versions which does not know the age of the universe, so they suggest the
