A RESEARCH AND PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF RELIGION

A RESEARCH AND PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF RELIGION

In the below essay on Religion, we are mainly going to conduct deep research on the existence of God as the superior being of the whole universe. The major topics we are going to cover is the nature of God that is how God looks like the entire supernatural being of God and how Religion is related to God. Another major important topic that we are also going to embrace is the attributes of God that is such as is the omnipresent and whether He exists everywhere as significant people believe.

Moreover, another important topic is the relation between Religion and scientific inquiry. This is how mainly Religion relates Religion to science and how do people embrace faith in comparison to science and how do they accept the whole part of Religion following the science. Another topic is the concept of transcendence and its sources of how they relate and embrace each other to Religion. Lastly understands Religion and number of contemporary cultural concerns it relates to. We are going to get the full transcription of these answers through the help of the knowledge from various authors that have discussed on the issue of the relation between Religion and also the existence of God.

Firstly, from Augustine’s existence of God, he argues God as a God of all times he primarily supports the presence of God as a supernatural and also as a divine spirit who has mercy to His people. He also goes a further notch and describes God as omnipresent meaning a He exists everywhere . this shows how the author supports the existence of God and also supports His divine power as a holy spirit that He is always there to help and also here what His people have to ask from Him (Hick, 1998, 234). This is how he even illustrates of the creation of the humankind he shows how Adam and Eve were created and also how they were condemned by God for eating the fruit of knowledge and out of this action every human being born on earth is embodied to suffer for the sin that Adam and Eve committed. But through this point the author does not support of how God judges each person according to the sins committed by their forefathers. Still, he goes further to explain his texts and analysis of how God is a merciful God for how He gives His people a second chance to live and also live a life that will always live in essence to praise Him and also follow His teachings (Spitzer, 2010, 145). By explaining this the author goes a further note by illustrating of how God is a divine spirit that He requires to be worshipped and his people are to do as according to His teaching’s. Through His major texts and analysis the author supports the existence of God by illustrating many examples of even how God hates sins and evil but also He is so kind to His people by giving them another chance (Davidson, 1987, 188).

From the discussion of McGinnis, in relation to other theories of such as Darwin on the existence of the world and how it was created the author illustrates how God as divine being created the world and this was because He is sole divine being. Through the way he proves that God created the world Himself this shows largely the existence of God. Through the authors different examples he illustrates God as a supernatural divine being and this is how he mostly illustrates the existence of God in many ways, one being an omnipresent spirit this is even how exists everywhere. The author goes further and illustrates God as one this is how he explains God in three ways one as the Holyspirit who he refers to as a divine spirit which is He communicates to His people through this divine spirit, he also goes further and illustrates God as a the God the son who came and died for the sins of His people and lastly he illustrates God the father as the one who created the whole earth (Burt, 1996, 134). He goes further and illustrates how He is one divine God but made up of the three. Through various examples that the author illustrates as God the creator of earth and the human kind this largely supports the existence of God and through the attributes that He illustrates this shows that Religion does exists and also through the way Religion is embraced by this illustrates how Religion is largely embraced by people who believe in the existence of God. Lastly, in the way the author argues Religion in relation to cultural beliefs, he illustrates even though there was no son of God in the cultural beliefs but many people believed that there is a supreme being who is God and they used to worship the spirit and also relying on His help and the author goes a further note and shows how these cultural practices supported the existence of God through offering of sacrifices and also conducting various rituals in support of Religion and the existence of God at large (Descartes, 2010, 112).

A further support from Augustine the author correspondingly argues of how God is a superior being and he goes further to support the existence of God through many ways such as He is omniscience. Through this he illustrates of how God is all knowing and how he knows to read the minds of people. He goes further and illustrates how God being a divine superior being loves His people and also how in correspondence how He punishes the sinners who go against His teaching. Through various different examples that he illustrates of how God is all knowing is from the creation story, he goes farther and shows how God knew that Cain had killed his real brother Abel. This shows how God is all knowing by knowing how Cain conducted the sin of killing his brother yet God Himself was not seen in present during when Cain committed the act. The author proceeds and illustrates how God hates and also how He punished Cain for killing his brother Abel. The author largely supports the existence of God by Giving Him different attributes of how a superior being should be described and also how he illustrates Him as a spirit. Through this examples and illustrations the author indicates and supports the existence of God as supernatural being and who should be respected according to the guidelines and teachings given from Him.

Moreover from the teachings of Augustine he goes further and illustrates the existence in many different ways showing that whoever is born on earth has his or her own gift of living. He illustrates through how he indicates that God gave every human being the ability to make His own decisions critically to either go on the right way or on the wrong way, but through each steps that a person takes God is always watching and everyone is rewarded according to the steps and ways He follows. This shows that God is Supreme Being who created the universe and the people in it where God gave them a gift to judge everything they do for themselves but each step that they undertake has consequences or different results (Taske, 1986, 254). The author goes a further notch and illustrates how God hates evil and all those that sin against His ways experiences stiff consequences. Apart from that also those who choose to go the right way also are rewarded according to the good deed that they have done in their life. This shows that God is just supreme spirit this is how He acts according to what His people have done. Through this acts that the author illustrates he brings out other major attributes of God such as God is omnipotent and also showing God is all powerful and omnipresent. Through this attributes the author illustrations and example of how God is powerful shows that God is the creator of everything, this is because if God is all knowing then this means that God owns everything that is how the author largely argues in His text and also various examples that he uses to illustrate the existence of God (gerson, 1981, 580).

In conclusion from different analysis and studies from different authors they largely support the existence in many mysterious ways. From the analysis of Augustine they show how God is a supreme being of how He is all knowing and he even goes further and illustrates of how God is a divine spirit (Plantinga, 1992, 294) . He deepens his analysis and shows that God is all loving to His people of how He gives people the gift to judge everything that they do. This is through how he differentiates between good and evil in the human consent. He says that no human possess the gift of doing the evil things but they have free entity to judge for themselves. This shows how God is a divine spirit and also that He exists.
