The document discusses different worldviews and arguments for the existence of God. It outlines three main arguments: the cosmological argument which argues that the universe must have been caused by God; the moral argument that objective moral laws imply a moral lawgiver; and the teleological argument that the intricate design of the universe implies an intelligent designer. Bible verses are provided supporting each argument.

16. Three Main Arguments for
the Existence of God
■ Cosmological Argument
■ Moral Argument
■ Teleological Argument

17. The Cosmological
Argument
1) The universe had a beginning.
2) Anything that has a beginning must have a cause.
3) Therefore, the universe was caused by something,
and this cause is God.

18. Hebrews 3:4
● “For every house is built by someone, but
He who built all things is God.”

19. The Moral Argument
1) All men are
conscious of an
objective moral
law.
2) Moral laws imply a
moral lawgiver.
3) Therefore, there
must be a moral
lawgiver.

20. Romans 2:14-15
■ “Even when the Gentiles who do not have
God’s written law, instinctively follow what
the law says, they show that in their hearts
they know right from wrong.”
■ “They demonstrate that God’s law is written
within them, for their own consciences either
accuse them or tell them they are doing
right.”

21. Teleological Argument
1) Order and useful arrangement in a
system imply intelligence, purpose
and design.
2) The universe is characterized by
intricate design.
3) Therefore, the universe has a
Designer.

23. Psalm 19:1-2
■ “The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament shows His
handiwork.”
■ “Day unto day utters speech, and night
unto night reveals knowledge.”
