In the dispute, as we know, the truth is born.It is not an era of total control of the Roman Catholic Church over the thoughts and statements of people in Western society were discussions about whether God exists.Ever since the days of ancient Greece were formulated the main evidence for the existence of a higher power.This metaphysical and logical arguments.Naturally, they are not cited by philosophers to prove the presence of a Zeus or Osiris, but suggests the presence of another world and, most importantly, the one Creator of our universe in which we live.
As we can see, from the very beginning thinkers in their logical calculations about whether there is a God, went a bit wrong way.Their arguments were based on the axiom is not quite obvious that if there is another life, then it is bound to be the organizer and creator of this.Most of the world's religions is based on the fact that there is "the Creator of the universe, the world of the visible and invisible."But if someone built a building, from this it does not follow that he is raised up and completely different structure.Especially since the second structure revealed many 'architectural flaws. "
imperfection of the material world is too obvious to be considered it perfectly fitted.Therefore, those who tried to prove that God exists, inevitably faced with the problem of theodicy, that is an excuse for the existence of the Creator of evil.The well-known theologian of the Middle Ages, Thomas Aquinas, has developed five main proofs of the existence of the higher mind and brought their ideas about why there is evil in life.Being all-good God (whose existence is proved through five relatively weak in terms of the logic of the reasons given by Aquinas) wants the world triumphed good.However, the creation is separated from the Creator, therefore, it is not perfect.Where there is light, there is shadow (although the shadow actually creates the object that absorbs radiation energy).Where there is health, there is also a disease (even weaker thesis, as the disease is regarded as a "lack of health" rather than the actual illness).
Conclusions 'Summa Theologica' Aquinas, striving to give an exhaustive answer to the question of whether God exists, broke the German philosopher Immanuel Kant.Proof of the existence of the one who is out of the world should not be based on the laws of formal logic.It is applicable only to explain the cause-and-effect relationships between material objects.And indeed, as soon come a time when criticism of the theological assumptions of the Roman Catholic Church is not entailed a painful punishment in the fire, heard the arguments and «contra».
Mockers did not stint on vivid images.For example, an ethologist Richard Dawkins in his work dedicated to the illusory belief in an effort to prove that God does not exist, so to challenge the evidence, "according to the degree of perfection."Suppose someone says that when we see some scattered objects, we can imagine the most perfect in quality facility that is infallible and all-good being."However, we are also seeing that people exude different smells.Therefore, there must be superior to all of skunk smell, which is called by God .... "
All of the arguments of the Church trying to impose faith in the All-Good creator of the material world, are deadlocked.Scientists have shown that the root causes of the universe was the "Big Bang", and not the Great Creator.In addition, the theory of natural selection explains in part the ongoing development of living organisms from simple to complex.Freed from the yoke of ecclesiastical dogma and rely on science European, most likely answer to the question of whether God exists, no.Religion has become a cultural phenomenon and nothing more.But the hunger - the best evidence that water - it is.And if our soul longs for eternal life, then perhaps there is this other world.Faith in God - rather, it is a moral requirement, which does not need to prove.
