Descartes Proof for the
Existence of God
Â
The purpose of my essay will be to examine Descartes’ argument for the
existence of God. First, I will review Descartes’ proof for the existence of
God. Then I will examine the reasons that Descartes has for proving God’s
existence. I will also discuss some consequences that appear as a result of
God’s existence. Finally, I will point out some complications and problems that
exist within the proof.
The basic problem with most religions in the world has always been that they
presuppose faith; that is one cannot be reasoned into believing in a religion,
if such was not the case then we would have seen a huge migration to one
religion or another. In any given religion, the main proof of God’s existence
is the fact that scriptures -- whichever ones they may be -- inform us of his
existence and his powers.
