In a dispute, as you know, truth is born. Until the era of total control of the Roman Catholic Church over the thoughts and statements of people, in Western European society, discussions were held on whether God exists. Since the time of Ancient Greece, the main evidence was formulated in favor of the existence of a certain higher power. These are metaphysical and logical arguments. Naturally, they were not given by philosophers to prove the presence of any Zeus or Osiris, but they suggested the existence of a different world and, most importantly, a single Creator of our Universe in which we live.
As we see, from the very beginning, thinkers in their logical calculations about whether God exists, took a somewhat erroneous path. Their reasoning was based on the not entirely obvious axiom that if another life exists, then its organizer must inevitably be the creator of this as well. Most world religions are based on what is the "Creator of the universe, the world of the visible and the invisible." But if someone built the building, it does not yet follow from this that he also erected a completely different construction. Moreover, the second building revealed many "architectural flaws."
The imperfection of the material world is too obvious to be considered perfectly arranged. Therefore, those who tried to prove that God exists, inevitably faced with the problems of theodicy, that is, with the justification of the Creator for the existence of evil. The well-known theologian of the Middle Ages, Thomas Aquinas, developed five basic proofs of the existence of a higher mind and gave his thoughts on why evil is in life. Being Omnipotent, God (whose existence is proved thanks to five reasons quite weak in terms of logic given by Aquinas) wants the blessing to triumph in the world. However, the creation is separated from the Creator, therefore, it is no longer perfect. Where there is light, there is a shadow (although the shadow actually creates an object that absorbs the energy of radiation). Where there is health, there is also a disease (an even weaker thesis, since the disease here is regarded as a "lack of health", and not actually an ailment).
The conclusions of Aquinas' Summings of Theology, seeking to provide an exhaustive answer to the question of whether God exists, were defeated by the German philosopher I. Kant. The proof of the existence of one who is outside the world should not be based on the laws of formal logic. It is applicable only to explain cause-effect relationships between material objects. Indeed, as soon as the time came when criticism of the theological premises of the Roman Catholic Church did not entail a painful execution at the stake, arguments and "contra" were heard.
Mockers did not skimp on vivid images. For example, the ethologist Richard Dawkins, in his work on the illusory nature of faith, trying to prove that God does not exist, disputes the proof “by the degree of perfection”. Suppose someone claims that when we observe some disparate objects, we can imagine the most perfect object in terms of quality, that is, an infallible and all-good creature. “However, we also observe that people emit different odors. Consequently, there must exist a smeller superior to all in smells, whom we shall call God ... ”
All the arguments of the Church, which is trying to impose faith in the Omnipotent creator of the material world, have reached an impasse. Scientists have proven that the Big Bang was the root cause of the universe, and not the Great Creator. In addition, the theory of natural selection partially explains the progressive development of life from simple to complex organisms. Freed from the yoke of church dogmas and fully relying on science, the European is likely to answer the question of whether God exists, in the negative. Religion has become a cultural phenomenon and nothing more. But thirst is the best evidence that there is water. And if our soul longs for eternal life, then perhaps this other world exists. Faith in God is rather a moral requirement that does not need to be proved.
