Date Descartes’ two proofs of God's existence.
Descartes uses the proof ‘Meditation III’ to explain God’s existence. The proof is given via reasoning, which begins by describing how he comes to such a conclusion. Descartes does this by mentally closing himself from the general public, ignoring hearing, sight, and the remaining of his senses as he deeply looks and depends upon himself. This state gives him the opportunity of making an introspective look at the existence of God, with no influences from another party (Steven 500). Descartes is able to organize his thinking, and from his reasoning, he is able to come up with the notion that God exists due to his finite existence.
Although the concept of finite existence should be preceded with some substance that is definitely infinite, this mere substance is not enough to explain the infiniteness because I am positively finite and to my understanding of God, and that he is independent, infinite, having both supreme power and intelligence. Therefore, this is a show that he cannot be able to have the ability of thinking the way he does, if it is not a fact that he is either an infinite being or an infinite being supports his thinking capacity. Although the explanation is logical, several flaws in thinking can be analyzed from the reading and understanding. I do agree with most of Descartes’ reasoning of the existence, that’s why I will not only give further clarification, but also explain Descartes biggest flaw in his argument. Descartes’ theoretical philosophical postulations of God’s existence are of logic. I can compare this to an algorithm analysis from the very start of a closed-out state of mind which allows every literate reader to be persuaded by his argument. From Descartes pieces of logical evidence, he provides the chain of creators’ logic, where he is inquisitive of the origin of himself, whether it is from himself or his parents.
