Is the questions of God meaningful or meaningless?
I. Introduction
A. Background
i. In modern society the question of God’s existence is still questioned. ii. There must be a rational outcome in proving the existence of God.
B. Issues
i. From the side of the Atheist, they say that God’s existence is meaningless because he can’t be observed by humans which give the Theists no proof of his existence. ii. Saint Thomas’s point to the existence of God is that there is a necessary being for us to exist and that includes the world and the universe.
C. Thesis Statement
The question that God is meaningful is because
i. God is responsible for the progression of change in things therefor he exists . ii. In order for us to exist there must be a necessary being which is God for whom it is he who is the primary and only creator.
II. Body
A. God is responsible for the creation of things therefor he exists.
B. Reasons:
Nothing exists prior to itself A series of effects cannot start without a first cause.
We must comprehend that there is a series of effects that exists.
There must be someone/something outside the series, which means that the series cannot regress ad infinitum.
i. For example given by the article, the billiard ball will not move unless someone moves it, that someone which is not part of the series is the first mover.
C. For us to exist there must be a necessary being which is God.
D. Reasons:
As contingent beings, we only depend on a necessary being for us to exist.
All of us are dependent because we are contingent beings so certain things may possibly exist but are not likely to exist.
There must be a being whose very nature is to exist causes the existence of contingent beings .
i. An example given from the article about the tree, the tree cannot exist unless someone or something that planted the seed of the tree that it would become.
III. Conclusion
Therefore God is
