Does God exist?

One of the biggest questions one can ask themselves on the subject of truth is:

Does God exist?

In fact, I think it can be argued that there is no bigger question. People define themselves, their beliefs and even their lives on this central question. For many God is as real as anything else in this world, to others the idea of God seems completely implausible. Our different beliefs concerning God have been the cause of some of the greatest conflicts in the world as well as being the source of much of the world’s greatest inspirations. All other questions about truth, morality and meaning seem to hang from this most important question, Does God exist?

No other question fascinates nor excites me more than this question. It is the subject of the vast majority of my reading and lies at the core of my desire to find truth. If there is a God, an eternal source to all that exists, than I can only hope that by trying to understand God to the best of my ability, I can perhaps get a little closer to truth. Of course the task ahead is well beyond me, and I wouldn’t dream that any of my thoughts would add or subtract too the millennia of human ideas and beliefs regarding God. But I believe with each new generation, the question must arise a new and we must search for answers ourselves. So I invite all to come and share in this important discussion. Whether you’re a believer, non believer or something in-between, your opinions and questions matter.

Because of the sheer number of topics covered when talking about God, I have decided to break my thoughts into several parts. The first part can be found here:

Part 1: Defining God
