The problem of the belief is one of the most burning today. If you are a religious person there is no need for you to support your beliefs. If you are not religious, you are unlikely to be convinced to take some religion or support any argument that states about the existence of God. The thing is that the existence of God can not be proved somehow. There are a lot of points of view as for the existence of God: someone considers God as the higher spirit and others say that the rationality is not connected with God.
The author proposes to discuss some philosophical points as for “God Question” and none of these statements is generally accepted. The only conclusion that may be made is that philosophy can not propose any solution to solve the life’s problem and in this case, God is another question for philosophy. “No matter who wants to support the idea of the existence of God, he is the subject for the comedy.” This is the statement of one of the philosophical books.
Aquinas and Anselm: support through faith alone?
Saint Thomas Aquinas starts to prove the divine with the statement that there should be the cause to the decision that God is that cause. Would it not be as real to make matter the first cause? Matter is the substance that the objects consist of. Matter is finite, having no beginning and end. This point of view says that everything in the world has its cause, if something exists, it is because something before it was its cause. It is impossible for the being to be the efficient cause for itself. God is considered to be the first efficient cause of everything. The existence of the world can only be explained by the existence of God, who is regarded as the first cause.
