Ok for me...God is the thing I live for.
Sure I've read those nihilist philosophers and sure I've read Darwin and I have learned about Evolution and sure I've met with a bunch of athiests with really good arguments...
But the fact remains that ...I believe in God. Camus and Neiztche were kinda strange. Darwin...well Evolution is just a theory and I don't believe in it. This is intended to be my philosophical defense of Christianity. So first of all...I don't intend to prove anything because nothing can be proven if you don't want them to be proven. Anybody can be stubborn and pigheaded about anything including me. It all comes down to faith. However for me...I believe in things for a reason usually...even if my belief doesn't soley rest on facts.
So first of all...God exists for me because of the basic causality argument. Everything that exists within time MUST have a beginning. You have a beginning..I have a beginning. A blade of grass has a beginning...and a mountain has a beginning. This is a basic truth. Scientists have searched for the beginning of the earth because they knew it HAD to have a beginning. Why do things have to have a beginning? Because of this very statement: "You cannot travel through an infinity of time to get to the present."
Now moving on...God is the cause of everything. If you trace back beginnings all the way back to the first thing that ever existed..you get God. Now then why doesn't God have a beginning? Because of another simple reason. God doesn't exist within time. Only things within time must have beginnings...if God is truly all-powerful...he can transcend time.
Second argument...why do laws exist. I'm not just talking about basic moral laws that most people abide by...but I am also talking about laws of nature...of physics. Why is it that gravity exists? There is no basic reasoning behind 1+1 = 2 besides..."it is logical" But why is it logical? I propose that is logical because God said so. That is the only possible reason. Or else everything here is absurd as Camus would say. However I don't believe in living in an absurdist world.
