Scene 2: Arguments for God
·The Argument from Design: Order and beauty in the world imply and intelligent creator.

• Wisdom 13:1: For all men who were ignorant of God were God were foolish by nature; and they were unable from the good things that are seen to know Him who exists.
• The Argument from Causality: Everything is here because of something else. This leads to the problem of “Infinite Regress”- nothing can breathe life into itself, at some point, there has to be a cause.
• The Argument from Your Heart: for every need, there is something to fill it.

• Some people may be called anti-theists-they have difficulty believing in God because of the hurt or pain they’ve experienced.
• God doesn’t cause bad things to happen but allows it so that a greater good may come (God’s Plan), either in this life or the next.
• God doesn’t promise us freedom from suffering, but He does promise us His presence in our suffering.
