ABSTRACT
People hold many different views about God. Some deny God’s existence, some believe that although there is a possibility that God exists there is insufficient evidence to prove this, some believe in only one God and some in many Gods. In the monotheistic Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, God’s attributes include mostly omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence and goodness. In Jainism, any human who achieves a sufficiently high state of consciousness is a god. Buddhism, with its stress on moderation and enlightenment, Taoism, which concentrates on naturalness, and Confucianism which accents simplicity, are all non-theistic religions. The argument from design is an a posteriori argument from analogy. It sees in the natural world evidence of the same sort of design processes that human beings put into the construction of machines. The argument from miracles states that miracles are a proof of God’s existence because only God could cause miraculous events.
