Does God exist?
God's eternal power and divine nature are so obvious in what surrounds us that, in the end, men are without excuse (Romans 1:20).- What are objective reasons for your belief in God?
- I don't believe there are any "proofs" that could convince someone who is not interested in Truth in general (whatever it might be). Plato understood this and created a masterpiece in the allegory of the Cave. This being said, for those who are ready to be surprised by Truth (whatever it might be) there is a flurry of winks and fingerprint trails left by something bigger than we are. Some of them are so explicit and obvious that we are indeed "without excuse". One such fingerprint has to be... Complexity
but there are others...
- If you do not believe God exists, what are your reasons?
- Here is something interesting to ponder: 39 Unconvincing Arguments for God from the Friendly Atheist. Most of the arguments are subjective (in the sense that the author seems unable to consider the alternative to his position as an option. Objectivity requires a fair treatment of the opposite side... this I did not notice...) or quasi scientific (statement like "there are many transitional links in nature" is easy to make but either there is no scientific consensus or its an unproven assertion. I am still waiting a worldwide acclaimed discovery of some of the million missing links that have been necessary for us to be where we are today. Is Lucy one of them? the answer is not conclusive. Even if she was, she is awfully lonely...) and nothing more is expected of Hemant (even friendly atheists seem threatened, at times, by the fact that there is something bigger than they =)). Nevertheless, there are a few points that make for interesting discussions... I'll let you find which ones =)
