Argument for God's Existence

Response to comment [from a Catholic]:  "In attempting to demonstrate the existence of God..."

We can't prove God's existence and the atheist cannot prove his non-existence. We have faith that he exists (Heb 11:1). They have faith that he does not exist (Ps 53:1).

Response to comment [from other]: "If your world view does not allow for the possibility of the existence of a real and active God, there is no point in further discussion."

You know they pride themselves (Da 5:20) on their rationality (1 Co 8:1).

" Appeal to Ignorance: The fallacy of appeal to ignorance comes in two forms: (1) Not knowing that a certain statement is true is taken to be a proof that it is false. (2) Not knowing that a statement is false is taken to be a proof that it is true. The fallacy occurs in cases where absence of evidence is not good enough evidence of absence. The fallacy uses an unjustified attempt to shift the burden of proof. The fallacy is also called “Argument from Ignorance.”

Example:

Nobody has ever proved to me there’s a God, so I know there is no God." Source

Response to comment [from an atheist]: "Good post, but I don't think that rationality is on side of those who believe there is no God..."

These images are used by atheists. They insinuate that believers do not think.

You can say that you don't believe in pumpkins but if I've just had pumpkin pie, I have the witness inside of me. The Bible says taste and see that the Lord is good (Ps 34:8). Rogers.

Response to comment [from other]: [Richard Dawkins: I can't be sure God does not exist] "This is not really newsworthy..."

No argument here. Dawkins argues that man is ultimately irrelevant. Why should anyone care about what he has to say? Enyart.

[10 Questions & Answers for Atheists] "Can we know there is a God? Is there a basis for right and wrong? Can a person believe in God and in science? what about evil? Leading apologists Dr. Norman Geisler and Alex McFarland (President of Southern Evangelical Seminary) look at the big questions of life.

Cosmological argument:

• Everything that had a beginning has a cause.
• The universe had a beginning.
• Therefore, the universe had a cause.

Design argument:

• Every design has a designer.
• The universe—and life—has a highly complex design.
• Therefore, there is a Great Designer.

Moral argument

• Moral laws require a lawgiver
• Absolute moral laws exist.
• Therefore, there is an absolute Moral Lawgiver..." Full text: 10 Q & A on Atheism and Agnosticism

Response to comment [from an atheist]: [We can't prove God's existence and the atheist cannot prove his non-existence. We have faith that he exists (Heb 11:1). They have faith that he does not exist (Ps 53:1). ] "Can any lunatic claim something exists be it gods, ghosts, aliens or dragons, and I have to take him at his word unless I can prove otherwise. No!"

Aren't you people fond of saying: "I just believe in one fewer god than you do." You believe. Atheism is your religion.

"This last work of Dr Henry Morris details the basic evidence against evolution - a faith-system that manifests itself in naturalism, atheism and pantheism which worship the creature more than the Creator. The evidence is shown to be supported by the evolutionists themselves!" Full text: Some Call It Science: The Religion of Evolution by Dr. Henry Morris
