GOD is—
Infinitely powerful --- Cosmological Argument
Infinitely intelligent--- Teleological Argument
Absolutely Perfect--- Moral Argument
Absolutely Unique--- (One) Because:
1.
There cannot be two infinite Beings.
2.
There cannot be two perfect Beings.
3.
There is only on Mind behind the universe as is
indicated by---
a.
The anthropic principle;
b.
The universality of physical and mathematical
laws.
Anthropic Principle:
The laws of
nature and parameters of the Universe take on values that are consistent with
conditions for life as we know it rather than a set of values that would not be
consistent with life on Earth. The anthropic principle states that this is a necessity, because if life were impossible,
no one would know it. That is, it must be possible to observe some
Universe, and hence, the laws and constants of any such universe must
accommodate that possibility.
Cosmological
Argument:
- Every
finite and contingent being has a cause.
- A causal
loop cannot exist.
- A causal
chain cannot be of infinite length.
- Therefore,
a First Cause (or something that is not an effect) must exist.
Teleological
Argument or Paley’s Argument:
- Human
artifacts are products of intelligent design.
- The
universe resembles human artifacts.
- Therefore
the universe is a product of intelligent design.
- But the
universe is complex and gigantic, in comparison to human artifacts.
- Therefore,
there probably is a powerful and vastly intelligent designer who created
the universe.
