    Christians are in touché with God through the means of conjecturing. Conjectures are propositions that are not proven. But‚ in the side of the Christians they didn’t call this as conjecturing rather they call it Faith. If Paul Ramsey believed to what Nietzsche said‚ then both of them are applicable to what they truly believe. Simply because what they trying to prove are mere propositions that are not proven.

    of the non-existence or existence of the traditional Christian God. II. Simply put we do not have enough evidence to know whether God exists or not‚ there are too many epistemological issues to pair with the limitations of human exploration. While many questions can be asked to raise inquiry about Gods existence‚ there are none that demonstrate it to be false or true. Therefore‚ both atheists and theists are wrong in their proclamations that it is possible to decipher Gods existence or not. While

In these proofs we can easily see the influence of Aristotle and his doctrine of the Four Causes.  l) The Proof from Motion. We observe motion all around us. Whatever is in motion now

    1. St. Thomas Aquinas was a big proponent of the cosmological proof of God’s existence. This proof is based on the concept of cause and effect‚ which states that everything is caused by something. But there is not an infinite cause because there has to be a start.
