ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the important conclusions from previous chapters. Based on the limited truths we know, we can formulate deductively valid arguments with true premises that lead to the (incomplete but) true conclusions concerning the existence of God, and which can be used to rebut the argument from evil and the ambiguity of nature. The Cosmological, Teleological, and Moral Arguments are sound arguments, and together they yield the conclusion that there exists a First Cause Creator of the universe who is uncaused, beginningless, immaterial, possessing libertarian freedom (i.e., personal), highly intelligent, enormously powerful, transcendent, necessarily existent, eternal, and morally perfect. Such a Creator is worthy of worship. There are good reasons for calling him ‘God,’ given that hardly any atheist (a person who affirms that there is no God) would acknowledge that such a Creator exists and still remain an atheist. The arguments of natural theology can thus refute naturalism, atheism, and agnosticism, and this is not a trivial result given the widespread acceptance of these views in the academia. The arguments point to the Ultimate Source of blessedness (Augustine). To know him is the greatest blessing, for which we can be eternally grateful.
