Does god exists? Hard to believe after knowing about Da Vinci Code.?

Answer 1

God is just HUMANITY that is in us.


It is WE who create a "GOD" to lead us to goods and stay away from bads.


So, there is none a thing called 'god' but it is in us.

Answer 2

i'm an atheist and an agnostic. which ability i do no longer worship any god and that i admit i do no longer know if (or which) gods exist or no longer. both ardent believers in God and non-believers include evolution because the optimal clinical clarification in the back of transformations in populations of organisms over the years. like a number of clinical causes, theories of evolution at the prompt are not above grievance and revision. There are also some lively controversies between evolutionary scientists. this does no longer recommend that any ol' argument adverse to evolution will do, inspite of the actuality that and there have been some severe crackpot options positioned forth because human beings imagine evolutionary idea is a chance to their worldview. The Da Vinci code is a singular. Novels are works of fiction. Have a contented Easter!

Answer 3

The Da Vinci code is fiction... ripped off from earlier books (The Da Vinci Legacy, etc) and changed slightly.

Just like the bible itself, in fact.

Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

"fiction" section.
I Cr 13;8a

Answer 5

The Da Vinci Code is fiction.

Answer 6

The da vinci code never stated that God doesn't exist. It never stated that Jesus wasn't the Son of God. IT never stated that Jesus was not magnificent. Even though it stated that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and HE bore a child through her, it doesn't mean it's true. Even if it were true, connecting with a female was a way of communing with God and having a child was to extend the holy descendants' descence.

Answer 7

Answer 8

That's Hollywood. Check this out:
Aquinas’s Summa Theologica

G. J. Mattey
Winter, 2006/Philosophy1
Theology

• According to Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), Theology is the study of God:
– Whether God exists,
– What God’s attributes are,
– How God is related to created things.
• There are two ways in which theology might be conducted:
– Through the authority of divine revelation,
– Through the use of natural reason.
• If one rejectsdivine revelation, then articlesoffaith cannotbe used as first principles of theology.
• So natural reason is useful in theology.
How To Prove That God Exists

The existence of God is not self-evident to human reason.

•

– If it were, then we would know that God exists from his essence,
– But we do not know God’s essence.
• TheexistenceofGodisnotknownthroughan understandingofGodasthatthan
which nothing greater can be thought.
– Understanding that than which nothing greater can be thought implies only
that it exists in the mind.
– For a proof that God exists, it must be conceded that that than which nothing greater can be thought exists in reality.
– But someone denying the existence of God will not concede this point.
• The only remaining way to prove God’s existence is by showing that God is the
cause of effects which are more evident to human reason than is the existence of
God.

The Five Ways

• Aquinas presentedfiveargumentsfrom naturaleffectstotheexistenceofadivine
cause.
• These arguments are known as the “five ways” of proving God’s existence.
• The model for these arguments is found in the metaphysics of Aristotle.
• We will focus on two of the arguments and not cover the arguments from:
– Motion,
– Contingency,
– Gradation.
The Argument from Causality

• Thebasicideaoftheargumentfrom causalityisthattheremustbeafirstefficient
cause:
– Anefficient causeisan agent that beings abouta changein something else.
1. Nothing can be prior to itself.
2. An efficient cause in nature is prior to its effect.
3. So, no efficient cause in nature is the effect of itself. [1,2]
4. For anyeffect x in nature, x has an efficient cause.
5. So, for anyeffectxin nature, thereis anefficient causeythatis distinct from x.
[3,4]
6. If there is no efficient cause that is not an effect, then there is an infinite chain of
efficient causes. [5]
7. There is no infinite chain of efficient causes.
8. So, there is an efficient cause of an effect in nature that is not itself an effect.
[6,7]
9. An efficient cause that is not an effect is God.
10. So, God exists. [8,9]

The Argument from Governance

1. Natural bodies act so as to obtain the best results. [Aristotle]
2. Acting so as to obtain the best results is acting on the basis of knowledge of the
end.[Contra Aristotle]
3. So, natural bodies act on the basis of knowledge. [1,2]
4. Manynatural bodies act on the basis of knowledge without having knowledge.
[3, observation]
5.Ifa naturalbodyactsonthebasisofknowledgewithouthavingknowledge,then
it is directed by a being that has such knowledge.
6.So,manynaturalbodiesare directedbyabeingthathasknowledgeoftheirends.
[4,5]
7. Abeing who directs natural bodies toward their ends is God.
8. So, manynatural bodies are directed toward their ends by God. [6,7]
9. So, God exists. [8]
Limitations of the Arguments

• The arguments from natural effect to divine cause have an inherent limitation.
• The effects are finite, while God is infinite.
• So the role of God as cause in each of the arguments does not yield perfect
knowledge of God’s essence.
• Together,thefivearguments(if successful)only establishtheexistenceof beings
with the following features:
– Amover that is not moved,
– Acause that is not an effect,
– Unable not to exist,
– Possessing a maximum of goodness and all perfections,
– Director of all natural things.
• Hume in the eighteenth century exposed a limitation of the arguments not acknowledgeby Aquinas.
– Aunitary Godwould explain all theeffects,but several different beings as
causes could explain them.

The Argument from Evil

• One of the chief problems with the notion of a perfectly good and powerful God
is how evil can exist.
• Aquinas formulates the problem in this way:
1. If God exists, then goodness is infinite, and there is no evil in the world.
2. There is evil in the world.
3. So, God does not exist. [1,2]
• One response,givenby followersof Plato,istodenythe second premise.
– Evil has no being,but insteadisa “privation” or lackof being.
• Aquinas allows that the second premise is true, so he denies the truth of the first
premise.
• Aquinas claims that God allows evil in order to produce the good.
– This strategy in philosophyis called “compatibilism.”
– In this case, the existence of God and of evil are claimed to be compatible
with each other.

Answer 9

Let's see Gods word (The Holy Bible) has been around for thousands of years. Now a fiction book has just been printed for about 2 years, and your going to believe that one?

Answer 10

Its hard to believe in God after watching the news, which is not fiction but reality.

Answer 11

As in, "Why would a loving God make an author as terrible as Dan Brown?"
