If God exists, do you think that God should prove that God exists?

So if there is a god there is no way that god would let that happen right?" This statement assumes that God operates according to a particular set of rules which may not actually apply to God at all. First of all, I believe that all creation originates with God, but I believe creation follows the physical and natural laws as described by science.

In the Bible we find references to humanity being created in 'God's image', but since God is not a physical entity, I believe this means the humans have the capacity to reflect the qualities and attributes of God. For example, God is the Creator and therefore humans are creative. Humans are also rational (having the ability to reason), and therefore God must be rational; the rational creator of a rational universe, which we discern and understand through the lens of science (and since God stands apart from this creation, we cannot use science to 'prove' God).

Another quality that God must possess to be God is 'will', which we also possess. Accepting that humans possess free will is the key to understand why God would 'allow' evil. First of all, evil has no independent existence; evil is a lack, and an absence.

Think of day and night. The day is light due to the sun, but night is dark merely because there is no source of light. Evil is the absence of God, which in Christian terms is personified as 'Satan' (though no such entity actually exists).

Therefore God only indirectly allows 'evil' by allowing/granting us free will; the actual evil we see in the world, that's all on us. So, does this mean that God created all of this, set it in motion, and left us to our own devices as figures such as Newton thought? I don't believe so.

I believe God has never left us without guidance, but 1) this guidance comes to us by means of a particular system, and 2) since free will is in operation, we must choose to follow it (or not follow it, as our individual will dictates). This is system is called 'progressive revelation' and is a core teaching in the Bahá'í Faith. The basic idea is that religious truth is revealed progressively and cyclically over time through a series of divine Messengers (Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, et.

Al.), and that the teachings are tailored to suit the needs of the time and place of their appearance. Therefore, Baha'u'llah, the most recent of these divine Messengers revealed a message suited to the ills of our age. Briefly, these teaching include: the abandonment of all forms of prejudice assurance to women of full equality of opportunity with men recognition of the unity and relativity of religious truth the elimination of extremes of poverty and wealth the realization of universal education the responsibility of each person to independently search for truth.

I don't believe there is a god(s) but this whole thing you said was pure garbage... and i'm no historian or anything but i'm pretty sure there has been plenty of testing with nuclear weapons and even some used to end a war back in the mid '40s sounds like you're still pretty high.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
