I disagree with the statement that there is plenty of evidence that God exists.
Many people believe miracles and answered prayers are proof that God exists. A miracle is an occurrence that cannot be explained by the laws of science and the only explanation can be God. For example, when a family member prays for a terminally ill to get better and they do even though doctors say they couldn't. This proves that God exists.
However, many people believe there isn't enough evidence that God exists. One reason for this is that even though there are some prayers being answered, ALL prayers are not answered. If there was a God, who was omnipotent, then He would be able to answer all prayers. Since all prayers are not answered there is not enough evidence that God exists.
On the other hand, some people who agree with the statement will claim that the order in the world makes us see that the world is made according to a design. If the world was truly designed then there needs to be a designer and the only possible designer is God. Therefore, evidence of design in the world proves the existence of God.
However, I disagree with the statement as I believe the existence of evil and suffering in the world proves that God exists. If there was a God then that God would be omnibenevolent, omniscient and omnipotent. If He was all these things then He would not allow suffering in the world. Since there is suffering is the world, it means that God is at least not one of these things (inconsistent triad) therefore I don't think there is enough evidence to suggest God exists.
All you have to do is put in everything in B1 into this. Such as:
ReplyDeleteEvil and suffering
Unanswered prayers.
Religious experiences.
Evidence from the existence of religion.
Paranormal
Philosophical arguments - design, causation.
Thanks

Melody...try not to use paranormal arguments in this section as candidates rarely explain them properly and often result in no marks.
