| | Existence of God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The existence of God is said to be one of the latter. | | | The Pantheistic argument defines God as All; it is similar to monism, panentheism and cosmology. | | | Weak atheism is the position that God or gods do not exist, but this cannot be proven; or an absence of belief in God or gods because their existence can not be proven. |

| | Arguments for the existence of God |
| | God is herein identified as Yahweh (Jehovah) of the Hebrews, the God of the Bible. | | | Three cosmological arguments are commonly relied on by theists to verify the existence of god: the first-cause argument, the contingency argument, and the entropy argument. | | | If the theist is to use ignorance of the root cause of a natural phenomena as an argument for god's existence, then he must also grant ignorance of the existence of god. |

| | Arguments for the Existence of God |
| | Arguments for atheism or the nonexistence of a God can be found in the Arguments for Atheism section. | | | Apologists rely on a variety of arguments to substantiate the existence of a God, or to support the claims of divinity by a particular denomination's founder(s) or for its sacred texts. | | | The occurrence of miracles is frequently purported to be evidence of the supernatural, and therefore of the existence of a God. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Existence of God |
| | For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice: because that which is known of God is manifest in them. | | | This argument undertakes to deduce the existence of God from the idea of Him as the Infinite which is present to the human mind; but as already stated, theistic philosophers are not agreed as to the logical validity of this deduction. | | | Substantially the same arguments as are used today were employed by old-time sceptical Atheists in the effort to overthrow man's belief in the existence of the Divine, and the fact that this belief has withstood repeated assaults during so many ages in the past is the best guarantee of its permanency in the future. |

| | Classical Islamic Arguments for the Existence of God |
| | Thus neither for Traditionalism nor for Sufism was a proof of the existence of God necessary at all, since the existence of God was given directly either in Scripture, according to the former, or in the mystical process of direct apprehension, according to the latter. | | | The former laid special emphasis on the argument from contingency in a manner which definitely influenced the later Mutakallims; the later showed definite predilection for the teleological argument (dalil al-‘inayah) which had a basis in the Qur’an,[14] and was of a more compelling nature than the other arguments, according to him. | | | Like the Sufis, who believed that God could be apprehended directly, these Traditionalist sought the ground of their belief in God in a non-rational sphere: that of revelation or authority. |

| | Arguments for the Existence of God |
| | While theology may take God's existence as absolutely necessary on the basis of authority, faith, or revelation, many philosophers-and some theologians-have thought it possible to demonstrate by reason that there must be a God. | | | The arguments for the existence of God constitute one of the finest attempts of the human mind to break out of the world and go beyond the sensible or phenomenal realm of experience. | | | God's existence is a necessary presupposition of there being any moral judgments that are objective, that go beyond mere relativistic moral preferences; such judgments require standards external to any human mind-that is, they presume God's mind. |

| | Arguments for the Existence of God |
| | That chapter is, indeed, concerned primarily with ethical arguments for human survival, and not for the existence of God. | | | Let us suppose that several of these arguments, e.g., the Cosmological Argument, the Argument from Design, and the Argument from Religious Experience, turned out to be valid, in the sense that each of them established the existence of something which, in one sense or another of the word 'God', could be called 'God'. | | | When a fallacious argument has seemed cogent to many people of the highest intelligence, such as St. Anselm, Descartes, and Leibniz, it is desirable to supplement the refutation of it by an attempt to explain the causes of its plausibility. |

| | Design Arguments for the Existence of God [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | But since it is the very existence of such a being that is at issue in the debates about God's existence, design arguments appear unable to stand by themselves as arguments for God's existence. | | | Design arguments are empirical arguments for God’s existence. | | | There are a number of classic and contemporary versions of the argument: (1) Aquinas’s “fifth way’; (2) the argument from simple analogy; (3) Paley’s watchmaker argument; (4) the argument from guided evolution; (5) the argument from irreducible biochemical complexity; (6) the argument from biological information; and (7) the fine-tuning argument. |
