Question
Does God exist?
Position1 of 3›

Yes, God exists

This position holds that God exists—that there is at least one deity. It draws on classic arguments: the cosmological case for a first cause, the ontological argument, intelligent design, the testimony of religious experience, and morality's grounding in religion.

Supporting arguments · 5

  1. God is the cosmological explanation for the universe
    The Universe should have had a beginning, and a basal being whom we call God accounts for it.
  2. People experience God, so They exist
    This is the belief that the personal feeling of 'awe' is proof of the existence of God.
  3. Our world has been created through Intelligent Design
    Also known as "teleological". The complexity and beauty of the world could not have come about randomly, but only by of an intelligent being.
  4. Religion gives us our morals
    Without a God to define an absolute standard of right and wrong, morality would be relative
  5. Ontological belief in God: the idea that God exists because he exists
    An ontological belief is an argument someone makes about reality: what exists simply because it exists. Due to God existing as an idea in the mind, and we cannot imagine a being greater than the greatest possible being that can be imagined (ie. God), it can therefore be concluded that God exists.
