In this article, I just wanted to give a short summary of some of the major arguments for the existence of God. Here we go!
- Argument from Contingency
- Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence
- The universe exists and therefore has an explanation of its existence
- Therefore, the explanation of the universe’s existence is God
- The Kalam Cosmological Argument
- Whatever begins to exists has a cause
- The universe began to exist
- Therefore, the universe had a cause
- Moral Argument
- If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist
- Objective moral values and duties do exist
- Therefore, God exists
- Fine-Tuning Argument
- Every design has a designer
- The universe seems to be designed for life to exist
- The universe has a designer
- Argument from Possibility
- It is possible that a maximally great being exists
- If it is possible for a maximally great being exists, then that being exists
- There is a maximally great being
- Argument from DNA
- Every code has a coder
- DNA is an extremely complex code
- DNA has a coder
- Argument from Simplicity
- Science has simple principles which can be discovered
- Scientists could only use principles if they were discoverable
- Therefore these principles must have been designed
- Argument from Coincidence
- The universe contains many improbable coincidences that if resulted different would lead to us not existing
- These coincidences lead to a nearly improbable universe that we live in
- There must be a mind behind the creation of the universe
- The argument from Answered Prayer
- Sometimes people pray to God and the odds of the event happening are very slim
- Then the events have happened
- Therefore there must be a God which answers prayer
- The argument from Miracles
- Miracles are events that violate the laws of nature
- Events occur which violate the laws of nature
- There must be a being outside the laws of nature
- Argument from Consciousness
- It is a fact that consciousness exists
- The fact of consciousness can only be explained in a theistic framework
- Therefore God Exists
- The argument from Post-Death Experience
- There is evidence that people survive after death in post-death experiences
- Therefore there must be an immaterial soul that survives after death
- Therefore God exists
- The argument from Personal Experience
- There are personal experience in which things occur that cannot be supernaturally explained
- Therefore there must be a force outside nature causing these experiences
- Therefore God exists
- The abundance of arguments argument
- There are many good arguments for God’s existence
- Therefore God exists
I plan on going into these arguments in deeper detail in future articles!
