The document discusses arguments for and against the existence of God from a rational perspective. It argues that everything in the universe is finite and limited, so something unlimited must have created all finite things. While science can explain processes within the universe, it cannot prove or disprove why the universe exists in the first place or what created it, as these questions are beyond its scope. The document also notes that characterizing God with human attributes is an imperfect attempt to understand the divine. In the end, it poses the question of whether God is a myth or a rational concept as still open to debate.
In this module, you will journey to the very heart of this course: Philosophy as a subject presents various philosophers offering multiple perspectives on just about any topic including the self. Philosophically, discussion of the self is a basic search for meaning and purpose in life. Determination, rationalization, and identification of the self-set the direction from which an individual travel to fulfill his or her purpose in life. The inability to define oneself leads to a lot of contradictions within the self later on; hence, it is one of the many imperatives in life to know oneself and to go on with the business of leading a life charted by oneself.

Does God Exist? A question that even atheists spend a lot of time on, having concluded already that there is no God. Hava look at the framework of a lesson I put togther to explore the question.
Some thinker has said, ‘A smattering of knowledge
turns people away from God. Grater knowledge
brings them back to Him’. The author concludes in
this book by examining various theories that the
choice humanity have is not between the universe
with God and the universe without God. The real
option is between the universe without God. The
real option is between the universe with God and
no universe at all. Therefore humanity is compelled
to opt for the proposition the universe with God.
Hence it is logical to say l exist, therefore, God exist.
This book proves the existence of God beyond
doubt. After reading it a reader has responded as

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. God- A Myth or a Rational Perspective Today if you mention God then you’ll probably get a negative reaction . It has become the trend to get on with life and not bother to ask the question whether there is a God or not . In fact this question was not even asked much in the days of old , when you simply had to believe in God or be persecuted . Therefore, it is not surprising that people find it easy to believe that the existence of God is a myth , simply because they have never thought deeply about the idea. It is because people continued to believe in God blindly , i.e. Blind Faith , rather than use ration . But let us deal with both arguments - for and against the existence of a creator - from a rational perspective .
4. The Day, the Night, the Sun and the Moon This universe sings a different tune… I think of the founder of this caul But I wonder who is the creator of this All..
5. Common Argument A common argument of all religions is that God is the God of many abstract attributes such as Love , Peace , and Mercy which indeed are admirable qualities for human beings to aspire to. This characterization of God is based upon an implicit assumption that God can be likened to human beings thus the attempt to understand God in a human framework . Accordingly, we find in some societies such as early Greek that individual gods are used to represent single human attributes , and other cultures gods have quality to reproduce .
6. ‘ God for Nothing’ With regard to the opposing view proposed by scientific theories to disprove the existence of God . To understand the validity of any proposed argument the premise should be examined . Science is concerned with the methodology of processes in the physical world, i.e. it deals with ‘how’ and not ‘why’. Thus scientists are not concerned with why gravity exists but how gravity influences bodies to shape this universe . The scientific method is limited in that it can only deduce rules by repeated observations of physical phenomena. Thus the question of the existence of God does not and cannot fall into the realm of scientific thought because science deals with the mechanisms of events and phenomena within the universe i.e. the tangible and not intangible.
8. When we look around at everything we can sense, these things share one factor, and that is that they are all limited. By limited we mean that they have restrictions, a starting point and an ending point, and they all have definable attributes, i.e. they are finite. Man is born and he dies. During his life span, he will grow to a certain shape, height and volume. The universe is defined as all the celestial bodies and plants. All these objects have a certain mass, shape, volume and so on. The life span of a star may be very long, but a point in time will come when it will cease to exist. The universe is large, but is still a ‘finite’ space. No scientist could ever prove using hard facts that the universe has no bounds. In fact when they say the universe arose from a Big Bang and is expanding they inherently admit it is finite in size, otherwise it could not expand! There is nothing in reality that is unlimited. No matter how hard we try, man is unable to find anything unlimited around him. All he can perceive is the finite and limited.
9. This is how we get rains, breeze of air, underground water…But who created this?
10.
11. Everything depends on something for its existence, which in turn depends upon something for its existence and so on ad infinitum. But how that ‘anything’ came into existence?
12. The beauty lies in the eye of beholder Some questions don’t have an answer Some truths, better be left unfold Some stories are made up and told What to believe and what not… What to perceive and what not… What becomes a concept and what not… God.. Still remains a myth or a Rational Thought
