Therefore, it becomes evident that Commander of these laws is definitely more powerful and more authoritative than the command itself. Moreover, moral commands are such that they have a link with the ultimate authority and these laws have to be obeyed anywhere and everywhere irrespective of what the circumstances are. The authority of these moral rules is superior to all the rules, regulations and authority of the human beings. Therefore, the authority of the one who has given these commands is superior to the combined authority of the human beings.
The argument of existence of moral laws gives the conclusion that a being exists whose authority is superior to the authority of any of the human beings and whose rules are superior to the rules that have been created by the authorities of this world.
As a whole these arguments have been very successful in proving that God exists, who is the perfect being who is important for the sustenance of this universe and all that is present within this universe, who is superior to all that has been created or ever will be created, who has the absolute authority of every single thing that exists in this world and who does that is best for the humanity.
God exists -- why?
Most of the people just want a simple answer and explanation to this extremely complicated and complex statement that God does exist. For those who want to understand the existence of God can do so by answering or understanding the answers of six major questions (Clark, 1946).
The first question is that if there is not God that who created this universe and who has been sustaining it for too long. When we look around us, we see that whole universe has been created perfectly. The shape of the earth, for example, is exactly the same it was when it was created. There is a specific amount of gravity in the core of the earth that has not increased or decreased over so many years and manages to pull a certain amount of gases over its surface. Moreover, the moon is a specific distance away from the earth and that is how it has always been. It takes a specific number of turns and the earth takes a specific number of turns around the sun. The second question that compels us to believe that God exists is that who caused the formation of this universe. Scientists believe and have also convinced some people that the universe started with a great explosion which they call the Big Bang and that is how the universe came into being (Weinberg, 1998). However, there must be something or someone that caused this Big Bang and the thing with which the explosion took place must also have been created or produced by someone. This where the answer kicks in; it is God who created the universe and therefore, he exists.
We all know that there are some laws of nature that have always been obeyed no matter what the circumstances may be. Scientists have tried to come up with explanations for these laws of nature, but they have not been compelling enough for one to deny the existence of God. These laws are so simple and yet they are so complex. For example, the earth is attracted to the sun and so are the rest of the planets and the moon is attracted to the earth. These laws of nature have not changed ever since they came into existence and there has not been any increase or decrease in the values that are associated with these laws. If there was no God then it would not have been possible for these laws to be applicable in every single system of the universe and they would also get altered over such a long period of time.
Now let's move on towards science to find an answer to the question about the existence of God. It should be noted that the scientists have found an extremely extensive DNA structure and sequence that is present in every cell of the human body. These DNA sequences have precise instructions pertaining to the function of the cell (Collins, 2006). Each and every function that the cell performs is according to the instructions that are contained in these sequences. However, the scientists believe that it is not possible for anyone...
God vs Evil Forces There is a major problem in the question of the existence of God as well as the presence of the evil forces. If God is almighty, loving and omnipresent how could there be suffering and evil forces in this world? With all the power God has, He could eliminate each and every evil making the world a peaceful and a beautiful place to live for the people.
In most religious texts, "God is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and all-good (righteous, loving, benevolent)" (Wolf 2011). According to this view, apart from being the source of all that is good, God has the ability to know and do everything -- including stamping out all evil. However, there still exists so much suffering and evil in the world. Calamities of every nature do occur occasionally leading to death, displacement
Existence of God The philosophical questions I will try to answer and why they are of particular interest to me. Opinions that ordinary people tend to have on the issue The great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam profoundly influenced Western philosophy. In all of these religions, the existence of God is a central claim. For nearly a millennium from 500 S.D to about 1500 A.D., Western philosophy was the handmaiden
If something happens, then it is a belief that somebody caused that thing to happen the way it did, and it is an effect of some kind of action. If then several actions take place one after the other, then the earlier/older happening caused the later event thus, "the first cause is the cause of all things and itself had no cause since it always existed." (Trigilio, and Brighenti
Indeed, Russell does not say there is no God, he merely says he is not convinced the Christian God is the correct version of an absolute beginning and end. As a philosopher, Russell finds much to be convinced about the moral validity of Christ. but, if in Christ we have the epitome of morality and goodness, then are there not universals of quality that are imbedded in other great
There is in this premise an implied idea that God's goodness and perfection constitute an obligation that he create and maintain a good and perfect world, or, to quote Mackie, that "good is opposed to evil in such a way that a good thing always eliminates evil as far as it can." Mackie refers to this implied argument as a "quasi-logical rule." The truth of this assumption, however, is not self-evident. The
