Thesis: God can be defined as a being conceived as the perfect ruler of the universe and the
principal object of faith. There are many people that do not believe in any religion, for that
reason, they have no cause for believing in a God and they decide to be part of creeds or beliefs
where they make God a mocker. People who do not believe in a God and dispute against the
existence of God are demonstrating something that is absolutely false. There is a God for
numerous reasons. This paper’s purpose is to prove the existence of God, knowing that He is the
creator and savior of our world. It also shows a counter-argument to the competing positions (the
Supporting Idea 1: There is a first cause of the universe because from nothing comes nothing.
If nothing existed, then nothing could result into nothing because nothing can be made out of
nothing. So, in order to support and prove the existence of God, the universe must have a
beginning. The next question is whether something caused this beginning, or the universe just
popped into existence out of nothing. We all know, though, that nothing that begins to exist does
so without a cause; nothing comes from nothing. For something to come into existence there
must be something else that already exists which can bring it into existence. The fact in where
the universe began to exist therefore implies that something brought it into existence, and the
universe has a Creator. Dr Unwin maintains that he is personally around 95% certain that God
exists. He argues that rather than being a theological issue, the question of God's existence is
simply a matter of statistics. "On arriving in America I was exposed to certain religious outlooks

that were somewhat of an assault upon my sensibilities - outlooks in which religion actually
Supporting Idea 2: The Bible shows that everyone has faith because everyone believes in
something. Faith is therefore the major aspect that determines the stand of an individual person
on whether God exists or not. It is a strong virtue that determines the stand that one takes about
the universe and existence of God. Faith develops gradually from childhood depending on the family
and the community in which a person is brought up. A person grows with these virtues and believes
in whatever the family and the society believes in, whether backed by evidence or not. Faith is
evidence we think is pertinent, how are we going to interpret that evidence? and who or what we
Counter-Argument: The idea of evil is the first argument that gives an account that there is no
prove that God exists. This argument is the best that atheists have to disapprove the existence of
God. It is stated from the following two arguments that the existence of God cannot be true so
the first one states that; a perfectly good God should logically strive to prevent evil. If He is
omniscient, he should know all the ways in which evil can originate. If He is omnipotent, He has
the power to prevent evil from existing. The second argument that supports the inexistence of
God is argued from the point that he is not all loving because he has left evil to occupy the nature
of human's being. “In the jargon of the philosophy of religion, such arguments are known as
"atheological arguments." The argument from evil (sometimes referred to as 'the problem of
evil') is by far the most famous of the arguments, but it is by no means the only such argument.
AN ARGUMENT FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD 3
Indeed, in the 1990s philosophers developed a flurry of atheological arguments; arguably the
best known dispute is the debate from reasonable nonbelief (also known as the argument from
Conclusion: Just like two cords wound together become a strong rope, so the cumulative
effect of these two arguments provide us with a powerful case for the existence of God. Taken
together, these two arguments tell us that the cause and designer of the universe is an intelligent,
immaterial, powerful, changeless being that existed in a timeless, eternal state beyond the
beginning of the universe. This, I suggest, is close enough to the traditional Judeo-Christian
concept of God that we can justifiably conclude that indeed, God does exist, and that for him we
are in this world, and to him we owe our existence. finally I consider that there is no evil
presence that counteracts with the existence of God, He is almighty, nothing can neither could
against him.
