In the view of the existence of God
There is the consideration of various things that tell the information. In this light, the presence of God shows the possibility of infinite power that is undeniable by any individual of sane mind. As God, is the superior being, all individuals and things are to be subordinate to Him. This process is because all things derive their power from the supernatural being. God has the absolute kind of power as well as strength. In this research work, it tries to show off the idea of the existence of God as shown by Anselm argument. In this argument, it is clear to note that God does exist and that the individuals that purport the opposite case are not of the precise idea. In this way, the individuals have the idea that people imply of the existence of God, but on the contrary, they do not believe in the presence of God. The human being who is made to the ruler over the other creations are superior. The superiority of the human being has to be overpowered by a Superior Being that is the source of power to the human being. This more exceptional superior being is God who has the ability of all individuals tremendous or small. Through the use of Anselm's argument, it will try to show the existence of God in the universe.
Anselm argument on the existence of God
States that God is the most Supreme Being that no one person can be able to surpass the level of the strength as well as the intelligence of God. In this thought, the people who claim to be Atheist, they can acknowledge the existence of God in all their life but fails to agree and confess to the existence of God. In this idea, if an individual has the thought or thinks that God does exist, he or she has the exclusive understanding of God in his mind. Hence God does exist in his mind. In the same way, one can have the thought of something, and he or she views in his thoughts that it does exist. The idea of the thing in the mind is not the precise justification for the existence of the same in the real world. God is very superior being that can be viewed in the thought and hence with the level of superiority; it is a clear indication that such a powerful Being cannot only exist in the thought but has to exist in real life given the level of power that He possesses.
In this idea by Anselm
One can view that we as the human race are seen to have the control of all the creations that were made by God. We are given the responsibility of being in control of all creations. With the high level of strength that we may have, there still arises various level of issues and things that are beyond human understanding. One of the problems is the issue of the death that no human has ever been able to fathom. The other is on the existence of the various weather changes, the occurrence of the various natural calamities and lastly the idea of how life in itself comes into being. It reaches some level that one is unable to understand multiple things as they are beyond the understanding of all creatures. In this thought, there must be the existence of a more superior being that is beyond all creatures. He is the giver of life and the controller of all the things that are on earth. The idea of the more exceptional being will hence be on the way to indicate the existence of God.
In this view, if God does exist in our thoughts or reasoning
The Superiority of the powers is the clear indication that God must also be able to exist in reality. For the manifestation of the great deeds that people believe to be God-driven, there must also be the existence of God who will be the cause of the occurrence of the various activities in the universe.
God can exist in mind as well as in reality
Which makes it such a very accurate indication that God is present in the day to day activities. In no way was there to be the existence of the Superior Being in the mind alone when there is the clear indication of the marvelous things that God can be able to do. Some of the things that God can do go beyond the idea as well as the capability of the human being. For the manifestation of these things, the present will be the only way that will justify the great and powerful works that God can be able to do. In this thought, the atheist will live in denial in that they know of the existence of God but try as much as possible not to agree or even admit that there must be a Being that has the power to control all the activities as well as the ideas that individuals engage in the day to day activity. The act of living in denial is not enough reason that will help to rub the reality from the picture. It will only be a one-time consolation that shows that one is rebellious enough to challenge the status quo or even the real fact that God exists in today's society.
The individuals will be able to fool the public
Of the ideas that they support on the non-existence while deep down their conscience they have a deep denial of the truth that lay. The fact is that God exists and the denial of the same will not be enough reason that will make God not to exist. It will only be an escape route or a scapegoat that tries to run away from the bitter reality. If God were to exist in the thought alone, there would also be the catch in that no other greater thing or creature would go beyond the idea of the existence of God. God in the thought would still be the ultimate creature that an individual will think of with the most significant level of powers as well as understanding. He would be the strength of the human mind and behavior. In the adventure of trying to know more about God, the thought of the existence of God would kick in to provide and provide the best evidence that shows that God exists. In both ways, the lack of the full information in that no one knows of the information about God and the mystery attached to life after earth, there is the background force that controls all this activity. In no way can it be logical to say that things are controlling themselves. For every force applied, there must be the counter effect that will be discovered. This counter effect will hence represent the force that drives the actions. As humans, there is the real idea that all the activities that occur in the day to day life, there must be the force that drives them. The force that makes all this start with is invisible. No individual has the visual knowledge of the creature that controls this activity bringing the idea of omniscient. These powers that are exercised are beyond the strength of any human being hence the idea that omnipotent. As the human efforts cannot be able to counter the forces, it means that the creature has the most powerful strength. Being that the presence of the creature’s power is at every location, it is a clear indication that it reigns in every place.
The look at all these characteristics
Such as omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, it is the clear indicator that God does exist as all these attributes match the description of only God. In this way, we must refute all claims that tell the contrary that God does not exist. In this way, the characteristics of God are beyond anybody's intelligence. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all individuals to be on the frontline to ensure the accurate reflection of the truth that will lead to the realization of the true identity of God.
