The Existence of God

Introduction

Since the inception, there are many arguments about the existence of God. Both believers and non believers argued numerous times on numerous platforms on the existence of God. There are many doubts and there exists many proofs about the existence of God.

It is the most important step in opening the mind of faith. It is the basic pillar which incorporates all the further beliefs and revelations. There are many aspects of about the existence of God, the believer always think in a way that there is a God who operates all the activities taking place in this universe (Peter, p.1b). On the other hand there are disbelievers who say that there is no God and this world came into existence due to some scientific reasons, and they are of the view that every activity which takes place in this universe is by some scientific reaction.

Another theologian is of the view that "The ground of being."(Tillich says God is). These are more or less same concepts (William, p.15-25).
