Description:

This paper discusses philosophical arguments concerning the existence of God and the exact nature of this existence. The paper first looks at John Hicks' argument for the probability of God's existence and then summarizes some of the arguments for and against the existence of God. The paper concludes that the world today has opened not only scientific and technological possibilities, but also an opportunity to more scientifically argue for the existence of God. This provides the modern believer with an exciting array of tools for the fortification of his or her faith.

From the Paper:

"Furthermore, one could argue that religious diversity does in fact do nothing to disprove the existence of God himself, but rather the existence of a homogeneous human society. It could be argued that God has revealed himself in different ways to different societies in order to appeal to the specific nature of the society concerned. Hence religious tolerance is legitimized, while each society is free to worship God as they please. In this way, religious diversity exactly suggests that God does exist rather than the opposite."
