Explanation / Answer

The existence of God

The existence of the god is a topic of debate. There are many religions throughout the world and specific religion has specific god. There are numerous gods and numerous conception of the gods. One thing that guards the entire universe is an almighty who takes care of every single move in this universe. He is the creator of the universe. Everything that happens, happens for a reason and that reason is the god.

Many believers argue that, if ghost exists, god also exist. Some say, spirits also exist and god is the only solution for the evil and negative forces. Some believers counter this argument saying god would be able to stop evil, but he doesn't stop and allows evil so that the good may be appreciated.

There are some well known arguments which determine the existence of the god.

1) Cosmological argument - Since the existence of god is not self evident proposition, one must seek the incorporeal through corporeal.

2) Ontological argument - Assuming the definition of the god is that, "God is that in which nothing can be conceived", one may know the existence of the god is self evident.

3) Teleological argument - One needs to look at the nature to discover that there is a design within nature, and that design needs an architect. And that architect is god.

4) Intuitive argument - The only way to know the existence of the god is by looking internally in oneself. Seek truth with the heart and not with the mind.

5) Pascal's wager - If one plays the odds, then the only way to win is to bet the existence of the god, since any other bet would result in yielding punishment and non-existence of god.

Every religion has their own teachings, and following those teachings ultimately result in the humanity. So, believing in god means believing humanity, and believing love, which ultimately leads everybody's life in peace.
