The Existence Of God And Revelation Flashcards
Design Arguement
Strengths:
1. Something as complex as the universe must have a designer, and God is the only being powerful enough to design the universe.
2. The Earth couldn’t be perfect for life, like humans, by chance, God must have designed it that way, so humans could thrive.
Quote:
“We must conclude that nature has a maker.” - William Palley
First Cause Argument
Strengths:
1. Matches up with science, as God may have been the cause for the Big Bang.
2. Everything has a cause, and God is the only thing powerful enough to cause the universe.
Quote:
“Without order, benefit or
purpose and suitability, nothing can exist.” - Thomas Aquinas
Argument for miracles as evidence for God
Strengths:
1. There is no scientific reason for the miracle happening, so it must be caused by something outside of nature, and God is the only thing outside of nature.
2. Muhammad would not have been able to write the Qur’an without help from Allah, proving that this miracle was real, so God must exist.

“You are the God who works wonders.” - Bible
