God will always be here is said. Yet‚ there are recorded instances in the Word of God those rare times when God has made the decision to not be present. This statement‚ of course‚ recognizes God’s omnipresence‚ which means that God is everywhere present. However‚ while God is everywhere present‚ there is also His manifest presence.

I’ll first address and examine Anselm’s ontological argument for the existence of God while restating and critically examining Aquinas’s first argument for the existence of God. After I finish with that topic I will then take on Paley and his argument and whether or not it thoroughly proves the existence of God conceived as a supremely perfect being and why or why not this is. During this topic I will bring in Dawkins’ and Hume’s criticisms of

Our God In order for there to be any kind of interest‚ relationship‚ or in other words a preoccupation of any matter‚ there must be some sort of acknowledgement. For instance‚ when we take a look at the scientific method‚ we know that in order to make a hypothesis there must first and foremost be an observation.

Wrath of God Revealed Paul began his argument of Romans by proving that the Gentiles are sinners before God. Although God has revealed His truth to them‚ they have suppressed it‚ resulting in the darkness of their inner man and rebellion against God to the point of worshipping animals (1:18-23). As a result God gave them over to do the desires of their heart (1:24‚ 26): idolatry (1:25) and homosexuality (1:26-27). Seeing that they had no desire to retain God in their knowledge‚ God gave them
