The Argument Of The Existence Of God

The argument of the existence of god has been debated by many philosophers over the years and lives as a common issue between the ones who believe and don’t believe. The philosophers that theorize that god does or doesn’t exist end up running into the same problem when trying to convince the other they are right which is the lack of evidence and support. Because of the lack of evidence to prove one right, the truth of whether a god exist or not should rest in the opinion of a singular person and whatever they decide they will be right.
Thomas Aquinas was a philosopher who believed in the existence of a god and was an important philosopher because he was able to make his theories of religion intermix with philosophy like never done before. Thomas
Thomas used his scientific and natural reasoning to prove Gods existence in his work of The Five Ways. These five ways included theories proving gods existence by motion, efficient cause, necessity and contingency, perfection, and design. First motion; since everyone experiences motion, movement, and change in the world everything that is moved is moved by another and there in an infinite regress of moved movers is impossible, therefore, an unmoved mover exists or God. This Theory of was proved wrong by Newton. Second, the theory of efficient cause, people experience efficient causation so nothing can be its own efficient cause so there an infinite regress of causation is impossible, therefore, an efficient cause outside of series of cause and effect must exist or a god. This theory was also proven wrong because of the Big Bang theory. Third, the theory of necessity, god, and contingency goes as like this, people experience contingent things and if everything is contingent then eventually nothing would exist, but something does exist, therefore, there is a necessary being or a god. This is a little
He was a philosopher of truth. William was a Pragmatism and believed that there is no absolute answer for one thing because the answer is always changing. In Williams work he took into consideration philosophy, science, and religion as working together. In his work he philosophized the theory of Tend-Minded and Tough-Minded, solved the issue of philosophy, and made the argument of gods relevance. The theory of Tender-Minded and Tough-Minded made the separation between two different personalities found in philosophers. The tender-minded were usually rationalist, believed in the mind, soul, and a nonphysical god. Tough-minded were the show “me” type of people and who won’t believe anything without facts and evidence, they were also skeptical, doubt freewill, the soul, and God. The big issue found in philosophy was because of the clash of personalities between the tinder and tough minded. William solved this problem by deciding that both the tinder and tough minded philosophers were right. He came up with this answer because he figured that it all depends on what “truth” is and there can be more than one truth. This made many philosophers upset to hear this but it was the best answer to solve the issue if god exist or not. Because neither the believers nor the non-believers, could give enough evidence to convince the others they were right. William argued that god is relevant to some people and not others and the
