Question: How can I prove God's existence!?
I have to write a religious studies essay on how to prove God's existence!. In the essay, I have to include stuff such as the creation argument, the design argument, the moral argument and miracles!. How can I use that to structure my essay!? I have no idea how to start it off and what to write!.

Please help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Julius is right!.

None of the arguments you are supposed to use can actually prove god's existence!.!.!. just as no argument brought against it can ever prove his nonexistence!.

the reason for this is that the matter of god's existence removes itself from any kind of argument!. the very nature alleged to god by his believers defies logic or rational treatment!.

you can believe or disbelieve in god as much as you like!. you won't ever find conclusive evidence one way or the other!.
its as simple as that!. then again!.!.!. its just my own opinion and in no way compulsory :)

As for your essay you should first describe the general disagreement between theists and atheists, then give an overwiew of the theistic arguments as you did above!.

then you should give a brief summation of each argument, and describe how it is supposed to prove gods existence, and then state and explain your own opinion, wether or not it really does!.

depending on your findings you then conclude which, if any, arguments can be seen as proof of gods existence!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Belief in God is a personal matter, it should not be a matter of proving or disproving his existence!.!. that would be my essay anyway!. The creation argument, the design argument, the moral argument and miracles: none prove his existence!. There is definitely something intangible and magical about life, Christian's just choose to call that God (and say he is a man!?!)!. Sorry, I know my answer hasn't really helped!.!. good luck with it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Disprove evolution!. That's not going to be easy, but you could try!. The link below might be a start, but reading some of the sites, most are posted by "Biblical Archeologist's" and therefore a tad biased!.

The second link (by a Pastor no less) denounces Intelligent Design as a farce!. But this America, believe as you will, that is your right!

The only way to "prove" this, that I know of, it the Cartesian method!. You ultimately end up looking in on yourself, which forces all of us, then, to do the same!. It forces you to accept that God is a product -- though not necessarily a figment -- of the imagination!. It situates God in the realm of "that which cannot be humanly understood but yet logically conclude it exists!." For Descartes, God existed for the same reason triangles existed!. It's actually pretty cool, because it forces you to respect other people's gods !. !. !. but it does not address the "ethics" question!.

I'm sure there are Eastern philosophies to this!. Taoism (or Daoism) is quite nice!. But this question seems like it forces you into a Western conceptualization of God and religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Start with an intro with some facts like how many christians there are in the world etc!. then ask could all these people be wrong!? What are the strong arguments for God!? Then write out the arguments one by one!. If you want a really high level, include the weaknesses of the argument, then disprove them!. End with a strong conclusion including all the arguments you have used and a personal opinion!. Hope this helps! Www@QuestionHome@Com

u can derive its existence, its presence by faith by Imagination!. can any of human being create ocean, sky, air or universe!? there are thousands and thousands of miracle in the existence of this world and universe but we don't realise it!. u need not try to prove his existence as those who felt it were not believed initially by people!. u can read about saints of india and their miracles and their teachings!. as much as u read you will get ans to ur que automatically!.

in a world that doesnt believe in anything but what they see ,i would say you wont prove it
but and here is the thing
does god need provement!?
isnt he bigger then any prove!?
you prove something you doubt it!?,do you doubt that there is behind everything one almighty god
and in addition
dont you see that every creation as a melody of a cell!?
i would say ,look at your heart we see god in our hearts ,if our hearts are blind then its hopless case nothing will solve it unless god calls your heart Www@QuestionHome@Com

Which God!?

Most deities have "arguments" for creation, morality, and miracles!.

So if you talking about the Judeo-Christian God, be sure to disprove all of the other Gods since a tenant for the JC God is that he is the only one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you have to first define the meaning of God!. you can say that God means the beginning!. and w/o a beginning, there would be no now!. something like that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you must ask the question,"which or whose God will i prove exists!.
if you can not prove all Gods exist then you prove nothing!.
the question as no direct answer without a God or Gods being named!.
just a thought for you!.enjoy the dayWww@QuestionHome@Com

Existence of anything is proven by showing at least one confirmable truth!.

If you can provide one confirmed truth about you god, then you have proof that it exists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
