Books of Genesis tells how god made world in 6 days & created Adam & Eve & evil as result of satan's sinful act. Heaven is bond between God & human kind or place inhibited by God & hell is place of punishment, torment where God is absent. It is difficult to prove the Existence of absolute mind & mind that exists without body i.e. God. St. Anselm – The quality of perfection is an attribute only applicable to God. God mean something greater than which, nothing can be thought of. One can clearly think of God & suppose he exists one could conscience of lost island that was most perfect than it must exist. Since definition of island is most perfect then it must exist Anselm's reasoning licences the existence of all sorts of imagery object and therefore be faultly. Aquinas, Decartes & Kant heavily criticized that we clearly càn't ascertain whether something exists or not merely by analyzing the meaning of a word or concept. Aquinas gave five way or proof of existence of God. 1. Change must be result of something else a thing can't change of itself, cause of change, caused change that something is God is 1st mover. 2. Causes always operate in series. Thing can't cause itself. That 1st cause is God. 3. Things in world comes to be & pass away but not every thing can be like this for then there would have been a time when nothing exised. That nothing could ever have come into being since something can't come from nothing, then something must have always existed in God. 4. Somethings are noted to exhibit varying degrees of a quality are caused by something that contains the most perfect amount of quality is God. 5. All things aim towards some ultimate goal or end guided by purpose implies some mind that directs, that direction is God. These arguments are accepted by Catholic church though modern philosophy have unanimously rejected all five of Aquinas ways Epicuras complained "Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able & willing? Then how can there be evil? No factory will produce defective goods.
Aristotle in his ethics says that man is created to fulfil some purpose or goal & that fulfillment of a life consists in striving towards the goal. By contrast Sartre argues that since there is no God or designer to give man a purpose it is up to individual to choose the life they think best Belief in God is personal choice like life & purpose is chosen. The belief in a deity can never be forced upon a person. Even if one were to have the miraculous vision of Abraham it is still upto individual to interpret those visions. Man is never compelled his choice whether to comply or defy. We are responsible for everything we do one can't make excuses or defer responsibility to divine being. To do so will be self-deception or bad faith.
