Question

Name and describe each of the three arguments for god's existence.

Answer 1

The three arguments for the existence of God are:

The Cosmological Argument

The Cosmological Argument regarding the creation of this universe. How this cosmos came into existence, the possibility of the cosmos to come into existence by itself is nil, as the very basic matter of this cosmos is similar only the shape, size or features are different. This refutes the self creation and proves that matter was created, supporting strongly the existence of God.

The Teleological Argument

Each and every object, whether living or non living, in this universe is created flawlessly, with a design and purpose. How could the planets hang themselves in the space and revolve around the sun in their rhythm and discipline without a designer, who has intelligently and intricately designed them with a purpose and plan. Man with all his might is not able to come near this flawlessness or perfection in design and plan when he creates anything. Everything on this earth, whether the seasons, the atmospheric balance, the water cycles goes on without interruption and perfectly in it's own time. This perfection on design and purpose support the existence of a master planner and designer, the God.

The Anthropological Argument

Among all the living organism, it only mankind that has moral reasoning, the concept of right and wrong embedded in them. Humans are just not superior to other creatures because they are intelligent, but because they have the sense of morality. Other creatures cannot think as humans can, they cannot introspect and reason out what is wrong and what is right. This moral reasoning in humans supports the argument that there is God because why humans have this capacity not the other creatures of this earth.
