Which of the three arguments for god's existence do you find most convincing? Do you believe it is able to overcome the objection to it that you mentioned in (2) above? Why or why not?
The notion of proof for or against the existence of God has come to be used for a very specific purpose in this day and age: to convince other people that someone called God either does or doesn’t exist.
The Ontological Argument: - the proof of the existence of God can be explained from the ontological argument which seeks to prove God’s existence from the laws of logic alone. It argues that once the concept of God is mentally grasped one is able to see that God’s non existence is impossible.
The Teleological Argument: - also called as the argument of design which seeks to prove the existence of God from the fact that the universe is well structured and ordered. It focuses on focus on plan, purpose, intention and design. Design arguments are empirical arguments for the existence of God. Some phenomena within nature exhibit such exquisiteness of structure, function or interconnectedness that many people have found it natural
The Moral Argument:- The moral argument seeks to prove the existence of God. It states that despite cultural differences we all have a shared sense of morality. The moral argument begins from human values, such as truth, goodness, and nobility. Where do these values come from? What caused them? It is suggests that the origin of these ideas is the moral God.
Yes I believe that these arguments are able to overcome the objection. Let us explain it by giving the examples:-
Lets us explain the ontological argument with the example. We cannot see the God but we can feel God’s presence think of a situation if somebody through stone on your head you will feel pain if I will tell you show me the pain are you able to show it to me ?.the answer would be no you cannot but you can feel it same is the case with the God you cannot see but you can feel the God.
Is it possible that the entire universe is is well structured and ordered of its own without any powerful force behind. It Impossible that entire universe is running perfectly without a powerful force behind it. Take a simple example there are billions of the people on this universe and every second millions are new born if there would be no force behind the universe then where every human being born in universe is different from other in shape ,intelligence voice etc
