How to Prove the Existence of God – Ontological Reasoning and more

The greatest thinkers of humanity have tried in various ways to prove the existence of God. In this video we cover the Argument from Beauty(Aesthetic Argument) by Richard Swinburne, the Teleological Argument also known as the Intelligent Design argument by William Paley, the Five Arguments by Thomas Aquinas from Summa Theologica (unmoved mover, first cause, contingency, degrees, final ends), Argument from Morality by Immanuel Kant, and the Ontological Argument by Saint Anselm and Rene Descartes. The purpose of this video is not to persuade or dissuade, but to introduce. Therefore we leave out any criticisms which will be a separate video.

It is astonishing how the minds of great thinkers can be duped by (what we must take to be) their emotional attachment to the idea of "God" and/or their presupposition that "God" exists. Swinburne is a good example. The first proposition you quote from him - assuming it to be correct - tells us what "God" WANTS. How can he possibly know that without first having demonstrated the existence of this "God"? He thus assumes that "God" exists from the outset AND that he (Swinburne) knows what is in the mind of this "God". Additional presuppositions are that this "God" has a mind, has desires and intentions.
In the second proposition, he imposes (what we must take to be) his own ideas of beauty and ugliness AND assumes that the world is both/either beautiful and/or ugly. It could, in fact, be neither; it depends on the eye of the beholder. Therefore, looking for an "inherent reason" for something you, yourself, have assumed to be the case is flawed thinking.
This is bad philosophy. It will only persuade those who make the same presuppositions and have similar ideas of "God" and "beauty" to Swinburne.

hey man i usually love ur vids (i remember the train and plane ones and they were sick) but i wud like to say that, 1) depicting God is totally disrespectiful 2) showing God to be Jesus, or anybody for that matter. No rudeness to any Christians: tho i got maaad respect for the noble prophet, but he is a human after all.

*Blinks several times" earth is comprised of the 118 elements of the periodic table.... You would think a proper God would not coerce his followers to destroy records and research of this like with science, history and a diverse number or different cultures and ancient literature....

The argument from beauty is idiotic. If you look at any person, the odds that they would exist given their name, demographics, family, education ect. is essentially zero. Yet, there are over 7 billion unique people on the planet.

Saying something is very unlikely is not the same as saying it can't happen. Rare things DO happen, rarely.

It it were not man there would be no god.

[gowdsake]

The so called arguments are all logically unsound and none of them even get close to a god
